There is a scene in the movie Moneyball where Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, played by Brad Pitt, is sitting around in a meeting with all of his scouts going over minor league players that might help them fill the void left by the departure of first baseman Jason Giambi.
All of the scouts are going over all of the positive traits owned by a particular prospect, making their passionate pleas for why THIS guy is the one to come in and replace a franchise icon.
