I don't think the title of this submission is accurate. More accurate would be "summary of sports business conference, ft. Michael Lewis and Mark Cuban".<p>There was little analysis to suggest these limits, really.<p>Further, Moneyball was NOT (as is commonly believed) about walks in baseball. It was about finding and exploiting market inefficiencies. And you need quantifiable, reliable, data in order to do that.
