It's Sabermetric fail. I've had some sabermetricians try to convince me Jimmy Wynn is the best CF not in the HOF, and may be the most UNDERRATED player ever. C'mon. get out from behind the screen and watch some ball stat heads. I'm with Joe Morgan. Saber is overrated when evaluating. The system was developed to further the arguments for the HOF of one persons selected "omissions" hell, I could create a system out of thin air, using stats as Saber does, then knock those same stats I used for my formula(like Saber nuts do) if i chose to. But there's no need, watch the game. Watch the players. If Jimmy Wynn were really that great for instance, then his stats wouldn't display a mediocre player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
