マネーボール、ビリー・ビーンのロジック

Beane, on the other hand, just finished eviscerating the Athletics' pitching staff by dealing away Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder for less than they were worth, for different reasons entirely.
For one, Mulder and Hudson were going to cost more money than owners Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann want to pay -- making them two new passengers on the Giambi-Tejada Underground Railroad.
For two, the A's are about to be sold to Lewis Wolff, and it is easier to move a business with low overhead than one with a high one.
For three, knowing Beane's fascination with the business end of the game (as opposed to merely the end of the game), he might well be helping with that streamlining to enhance his position in a new ownership group.
