Billy Beane
I want Dye in right, Justice DH'ing, Peña on the bench, Hatteberg at first, and anyone but Mags first out of the pen.
Art Howe
You want Peña on the bench?
Billy Beane
That's right. So you can play Hatty.
Art Howe
Peña is not only the best first baseman on the roster, he's the only first baseman on the roster.
Billy Beane
Listen to me, Hatty gets on base more than Peña. In fact, twenty percent more.
Art Howe
And his fielding?
Billy Beane
His fielding does not matter.
Art Howe
I've heard enough of this.
Billy Beane
Have you?
Art Howe
And I, uh... I disagree with you, plain and simple. And moreover, I'm playing my team in a way that I can explain in job interviews next winter.
