[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 998710, member: 6771"] Very much a Braves fan, but a very cautious “advanced” metrics fan. Like many, I think some of the “newer” metrics that are helpful are WHIP, FIP, OBP, etc. I do think ERA can tell you a lot about SP, but it’s scaled to 9 innings and thus has -0- use in evaluating RPs. However, with the average SP pitching under 6.0 IP/game, it is telling us less and less. Also, the way inherited runners are handled, it’s a joke for RPs. I also tend to be *very* skeptical of composite metrics like WAR, and metrics that are heavily dependent on proxies like range factors. There’s just too much noise, IMPO. For example, Acuna gets dinged for lousy range to his right, but he’s got a GG CF who has great speed and good break playing over there so he shades to the line early and often. They haven’t captured how to measure how often he’s standing there while Harris makes the play in front of him. Meh. So I love baseball, see a lot of newer metrics being quite useful, but don’t swallow it all. Mainly I just want the game back from the nerds who are trying to turn it into an xbox game. That is all.
