Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2503564, member: 1917"] [b]Re: Rumour - Peter Wallace returning to the Panthers?[/b] Pete, I love Moneyball. For those of you who haven't seen it, do watch it. Aaron Sorkin wrote it, and Aaron Sorkin is a god. To get back on topic though, there's a problem with trying to be like Billy Beane. The A's never won the pennant. There's value in what he did but the team with Jeter and A-Rod or Pujols still win more World Series than what Billy has. We don't have a Jeter or A-Rod or Pujols (though we sure do have some poo hole players, amirite?). As for Wallace, yes he always tries hard, I'd never question his effort or commitment, just his lack of talent. And as for getting players who bring more value to the team, I again think this is why Wallace should go. Macca is creatively bankrupt, Norman is leaving and whilst a great finisher and runner Hoffman also has no vision. Prince's vision is still sometimes around but like most old men it's not like it once was. You take Hodges away and we lose even more of our attacking prowess, and given Wallace's game I think adding a more creative player at his position is a great way to add value to our team. [/QUOTE]
