This is an enjoyable piece, I suppose, but, really-- who knows more about winning baseball games, some sabermetric analyst, even the brightest sabermetric analyst, or Joe Morgan? I was always perplexed and a bit annoyed by the jihad against Morgan as if you couldn't find a mirror image of the same de rigueur, kneejerk thinking every day in Baseball Prospectus.

Don't forget to take a look at the videos at the end of the article.
