I'm not sure why, but I find it significant that I was reading Moneyball when I heard about the A-Rod to the Yankees trade.

There was clearly some significance when I heard yesterday that Paul DePodesta was named GM of the Dodgers. He gets a lot of ink in Moneyball, most of it depicting him sitting behind his laptop.

Going back to A-Rod, I should feel more anything than I do about the deal, but on some basic level it's the Yankees doing what they do best. I'm not going to get in a snit about the money, though I would if I were one of Big George's heirs. I don't know if I'd want my inheritance playing third base.
