And once again Burke misunderstands what Moneyball was about. It was about figuring out what skills the market was undervaluing and exploiting them. At that time in baseball it was on-base percentage/walks/taking pitches. If home run hitting and stolen bases were undervalued Moneyball would say that you should go after that instead.
