From the San Fransisco Chronicle:
“Ramirez follows in a long line of past-their-prime hitters whom general manager Billy Beane acquired on the cheap, a “Moneyball” tactic in which high value is sought at low risk. In order: Rickey Henderson, Kevin Mitchell, Tony Phillips, Tim Raines, John Jaha, Ron Gant, David Justice, Gant, Eric Karros, Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Mike Sweeney, Thomas, Jason Giambi, Nomar Garciaparra and Hideki Matsui.”
