Ah yes, the need for your Gritty Gamer philosophy to be proven right does indeed trump uninformed fans who stupidly root for his unfounded, unTop100Prospect approved success. I guess your work is never done. Luis Cruz could send us back to the Dark Ages with his well intentioned but misguided success, but hopefully he will indeed prove your metrics once again for the good of the universe, sparing you from having to "awkwardly" point out that e really isn't playing that well after all.

Mike, it isn't an obligatory rant about wins. I haven't read anyone who doesn't think that at least reliever wins are meaningless. That is the problem with the blogosphere.... Largely tone deaf to it's own success. New stats are valued, and old ones are taken with at least a grain of salt... So you are arguing with no one on this one anyway. The other problem is that in making the case for the more telling modern stats, the case is overstated about the older ones to win the argument. RBIs fall in this category. Limited? Yes, but it is logically impossible that they are meaningless, not when runs win games. By 2012, the case is most often overstated rather than the olden days of treating the stat as infallible. When Mattingly says Rivera will have a good year if he posts 85-90 RBIs, and you say that total would be based on others' success, you are guilty of overstating your case...taking valid points for RBIs limitations and stretching them beyond their logic.
