Last week, Ben Lindbergh of The Ringer wrote about the Dodgers' starting rotation and their strategy for the past two years. The article made me mad, as Lindbergh is one of my top three favorite baseball writers and he wrote about a topic that's germane to the A's in a much more complete fashion than I have. He even ended the piece with a quote that will hit particularly close to home in Oakland.
What the Dodgers have tried isn't really a replicable plan. Nor is it the new Moneyball; if anything, it's an approach that wouldn't work without money.
