Inside a trade (and a FIP sighting)

By Tangotiger, 09:38 AM

DePodesta(*) references FIP in his blog as he explains their decision-making process in a trade.

(*)"The A’s are looking at your research.” That’s what was told to me circa Aug, 2002, by Michael Lewis.  It was pretty cool.  I guess it was DePodesta.

Hat tip: Bob.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
