Milan, Moneyball model transfer market: who would buy Billy Beane

The new owner of the Rossoneri often cites the methodology of the legendary Mlb GM, or the analysis of big data to find the right profiles: we simulated the search with three specialized companies. And here is who, numbers in hand, would suit Pioli’s case

L. Bianchin – S. Cantalupi

June 21st
– Milan

“Billy Beane and I have the same vision of things. It is often said that to win you have to spend a lot of money, but why? I say that you have to be smarter than others and not sacrifice money. I believe in the Moneyball method.” Beane is the former general manager of Oakland A’s, Mlb franchise, and Moneyball is the film with Brad Pitt based on the book of the same name that told the revolution he applied to American baseball. In a nutshell (and like all summaries, inaccurate): Beane showed that it is possible to search for the strongest players – or best suited to a team – with algorithms and artificial intelligence. So why not try AC Milan?
