My biggest issue with the movie Moneyball is it acts like Beane's moves to fill in the blanks on his roster are solely what put his team into the playoffs.
What put the team into the playoffs was having the MLB's best big three -- Mulder, Zito and Hudson -- at the time.
Along with the fact, Miguel Tejada was AL MVP, Eric Chavez was perhaps the best 3B in the AL and Billy Koch racked up 44 saves.
These five were hardly mentioned -- especially Mulder, Zito and Hudson -- in the movie.
