So we're really questioning Billy Beane in this thread?
He's moved top of the rotation starters at the perfect time consistently (see Zito, Hudson, Mulder), he's gotten great value back (see Haren, Eveland), he's pulled legit Cy Young candidates out of his ass (Duchscherer), he's got a team that's 8 games over .500 after he continually is forced to deal his best players.
Yeah, let's question that guy.
