Comments on: Billy Beane's video game pitch: You, too, can be a baseball GM

MLB Front Office Manager lets players take on the role of running a team from the ground up and gives them expertise from famous Oakland A's GM Billy Beane.

So if things get heated and Billy Beane tells the pitcher to hit the batter , it will actually be a Beane-Ball.

A video game whose object is to simulate an office job? Sounds awful, no thanks.

Wow.

Amazing that MLB would put Beane at the forefront of a product, when for years they've tried to sweep him - and his proof that you can build a perennial contender with no handouts or big-market salaries - under the rug.

Well, I guess that considering the GMs who have followed in his footsteps have kept the massive-spending Yankees from a World Championship for the entirety of this young century, and that even previously backward thinking teams like the Mariners have finally hired executives who know how to properly value players, they're finally admitting the science where they previously thought it was an art.
