Moneyball is not about finding extremely productive players. Anyone can do that.
Moneyball is about arbitrage. Arbitrage is profiting from the difference between what something is actually worth and what people will actually pay for.
An example; if defense is not properly valued and paid for around a league, a clever team can steal a few wins by fielding a lower cost, stellar defensive club.
