I'm guessing you thought Derrick Jeter was a legitimate Gold Glovernumbers wrote:So I was watching a bunch of episodes of that Top 10 right now show they have on the MLB network. Some of the rankings are absurd. What really struck me though, was Brian Kenny, Bill James and co. saying that errors are irrelevant and don't matter when evaluating a player. This is a perfect example of analytics gone mad. That statement, to me, is more asinine than when people put a lot of stock in Wins when evaluating pitchers.

Re: MLB
that is a pretty asinine statement. How many times have we all seen a routine ball booted, lead to a big inning.numbers wrote:So I was watching a bunch of episodes of that Top 10 right now show they have on the MLB network.

AND, to flip it on the analytical crowd. They put so much stock into walks, and guys getting on base, and how a guy getting on base is so important. But now dismiss a defensive player who allows players to reach base by committing errors?

Re: MLB
Mattingly instituted a "no-facial-hair" policy for the Marlins this season. It's pretty silly, especially considering Donnie Baseball was himself kind of a dick about the Yankees' same policy back in the day. Months after being named captain, he refused to cut his hair, got benched, and demanded to be traded. He talked to the press about it in no uncertain terms, too. Things were sure different back then.

So is it not like other sports I follow? In baseball it's okay to be pre diabetic? It's a semi serious question.
