And some great baseball people not off to such great starts ...
1. Billy Beane, A's GM: The legendary Beane, who is one of the smartest people in baseball, followed owner Lew Wolff's directive to go for it this year, and it sure doesn't look like the A's are going to make it. Matt Holliday looks like prime trade bait now, but with teams still concerned about the economy, not many will be anxious to take the remainder of his $12.5 million contract. On top of that, the Moneyball script apparently stunk, and the whole thing may end up on the cutting room floor. That means no Brad Pitt.
