Beane was named GM in 98. He drafted Mulder and Zito. Also, as prep for his job as GM, outgoing GM Sandy Alderson gave Beane a copy of Bill James' Abstracts when he was the assistant.
Correct, the A's were already practicing sabermetrics or "moneyball" before Beane was gm. In the book it talks about drafting college pitchers out of college instead of highschool because there are to many things that can go wrong with a kid from HS. Thats why they drafted Mulder, Zito, and Hudson. I just wish they would have said something about this in the movie.
