00:00You can't deny his offensive output, he can play, and we need people that can play.
00:12Who do you want to talk about first?
00:30None of them.
00:34Billy, we got 38 home runs and 120 RBIs.
00:37Guys, you're still trying to replace Giambi.
00:39I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it.
00:43Now, what we might be able to do is recreate him.
00:48Recreate him in the aggregate.
00:50The what?
00:51Giambi's on-base percentage was 477.
00:54Damon's on-base, 324.
00:57And Almatus was 291.
00:58Add that up, and you get...
01:03Do you want me to speak?
01:06Went up one year, yeah.
01:081092.
01:09Divided by three.
01:11364.
01:12That's what we're looking for.
01:14Three ball players, three ball players, whose average OBP is...
01:18364.
01:20That doesn't look right, doesn't come out right.
01:22That's right, already.
01:23Billy?
01:24You gotta carry the one.
01:25Billy.
01:26That's his 10.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Who's that?
01:31That's Pete.
01:33Does Pete really need to be here?
01:36Yes, he does.
01:39Okay.
01:39Here's who we want.
01:41Number one.
01:43Jason's little brother, Jeremy.
01:45Oh.
01:46Billy, that's trouble.
01:47Billy, look, if I...
01:49Yeah, Billy, if I may.
01:51He certainly has had his problems off the field, and we know what he can't do on the field.
01:55He's getting a little thicker on the waist, yeah.
01:57You know, and his reports about him on the weed and the strip clubs.
02:00Well, his on-base percentage is all we're looking at now.
02:03And Jeremy gets on base an awful lot for a guy who only costs $285,000.
02:09Gee, Billy.
02:10Number two.
02:13David Justice.
02:14Oh, no.
02:15Not a good idea, Billy.
02:17Old man Justice.
02:18Why is that?
02:19Steinbrenner's so pissed at his decline that he's willing to eat a big chunk of his contract
02:23just to get rid of him.
02:24Exactly.
02:25Ten years ago, David Justice, big name.
02:27Been a lot of big games.
02:28He's going to really help our season tickets early in the year.
02:32But we get in the dog days in July and August, he's lucky if he's going to hit his weight.
02:36Billy, his legs are gone.
02:38Billy.
02:39He's a defensive liability, and I question whether the bat speed is still there.
02:43His legs are gone.
02:44Great.
02:44We'll be lucky to get 60 games out of him.
02:46Why do you like him?
02:49Because he gets on base.
03:01Say, bro.
03:03Let me ask you a question.
03:05Yeah.
03:05How come your boss doesn't travel with the team?
03:10He doesn't like to mingle with the players.
03:15Is that supposed to make us easier to cut?
03:19I don't know.
03:24I don't know.
03:25And how come soda is a dollar in the clubhouse?
03:30I've never seen nothing like that.
03:34Billy likes to keep the money on the field.
03:37Soda money?
03:39Really?
03:40Where on the field is a dollar I'm paying for soda?
03:46It's hard to see exactly, but it's there.
03:51It is hard to see.
03:53I'm done.
03:54I may lose my job, in which case I'm a 44-year-old guy with a high school diploma and a daughter
04:02I'd like to be able to send to college.
04:06You're 25 years old with a degree from Yale and a pretty impressive apprenticeship.
04:11I don't think we're asking the right question.
04:15I think the question we should be asking is, do you believe in this thing or not?
04:23I do.
04:24It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
04:32Don't.
04:33To anyone.
04:38Okay.
04:42I'm going to see this thing through for better or worse.
04:44Just tell me, do you project we'll win more with Hatterberg or Pena at first?
04:54It's close, but theoretically, Hatterberg.
05:01What are we talking about, then?
05:03Dombrowski's on again, on three.
05:08Yeah.
05:10Okay, that'll work.
05:13Great.
05:13I need one more thing.
05:15Soda.
05:17Yeah, I don't want my guys paying for soda.
05:19I want you to stock my machine for three years.
05:21I'm serious.
05:24Great.
05:25It's a deal.
05:28And what's the point?
05:30You just got the record.
05:36Man, I've been doing this for...
05:37Listen, man.
05:45I've been in this game a long time.
05:51I'm not in it for a record.
05:53I'll tell you that.
05:54I'm not in it for a ring.
05:56I'm not in it for a ring.
05:59It's when people get hurt.
06:03If we don't win the last game of the series,
06:06they'll dismiss us.
06:08Bill, I know these guys, I know the way they think, and they will erase us.
06:16And everything we've done here, none of it will matter.
06:19Any other team wins the World Series, good for them.
06:28They're drinking champagne, they get a ring.
06:30But if we win,
06:34on our budget with this team,
06:38we'll change the game.
06:43And that's what I want.
06:46I want it to mean something.
06:51Steve told me he's offering you a new contract.
06:55Yes.
06:57So why did you return my call?
07:00Because it's the Red Sox.
07:04Because I believe science might offer an answer to the curse of the Bambino.
07:10Because I hear you hired Bill James.
07:13Yep.
07:15You know,
07:16why someone took so long to hire that guy is beyond me.
07:21Well, baseball hates him.
07:23Well,
07:25baseball,
07:26baseball can hate him, you know.
07:28One of the great things about money is that
07:30it buys a lot of things.
07:33One of which is the luxury to disregard what baseball likes, doesn't like, what baseball thinks, doesn't think.
07:38It sounds nice.
07:44Well,
07:45I was grateful for the call.
07:48You were grateful?
07:49Yeah.
07:50for $41 million,
07:50you built a playoff team.
07:53For $41 million,
07:55you built a playoff team.
07:58You lost Damon,
07:59Giambi,
08:00Isringhausen,
08:01Pena,
08:02and you won more games without them than you did with them.
08:06You won the exact same number of games that the Yankees won,
08:09but the Yankees spent $1.4 million per win.
08:14And you paid $260,000.
08:17I know you're taking it in the teeth out there,
08:19but the first guy through the wall,
08:22he always gets bloody.
08:24Always.
08:25This is threatening,
08:26not just a way of doing business,
08:28but in their minds,
08:29it's threatening the game.
08:30But really,
08:30what it's threatening is their livelihood.
08:32It's threatening their jobs.
08:34It's threatening the way that they do things.
08:37And every time that happens,
08:38whether it's a government or a way of doing business
08:40or whatever it is,
08:42the people who are holding the reins,
08:45they have their hands on the switch,
08:47they go batshit crazy.
08:51I mean,
08:52anybody who's not tearing their team down right now
08:56and rebuilding it using your model,
09:00they're dinosaurs.
09:02I mean,
09:03sitting on their ass on the sofa
09:05in October
09:06watching the Boston Red Sox
09:09win the World Series.
09:16What's this?
09:18I want you to be my general manager.
09:20That's my offer.
09:35I want you to be my general manager.
09:36I'll stop.
09:38Let's do this.
