Apparently "Moneyball" is an important thing. The Billy Beane movie, based on the book "Moneyball," staring Brad Pitt, has added Comedy Central comedian Demetri Martin. But that's not all. Former Oakland Athletics slugger David Justice and utility man Scott Hatteberg have also signed up to play themselves in the movie. The script is set to be directed by Steven Soderbergh of the Oceans series fame. The Columbia Pictures movie tells the story of Oakland Athletics' general manager Billy Beane and his mathematical approach to keeping a small market team competitive in the high spending sport of baseball.
