I heard Dan Bernstein on the radio the other day trying to educate fans on advanced baseball statistics, and was using FIP like it was the king of all pitching statistics. Whoever was with him (not Boers) was noticing that Jimenez wasnt among the top 10 pitchers in FIP and calling the stat out based on that. Dan's response was to defend that damn stat to the death and kept talking about how its more important than anything else you can look at because it's independant of fielding. I was just shaking my head. These stats are great, but people have to understand that there is not one single stat that determines the value or worth of an individual player. I enjoy listening to Boers & Bernstein and Bernstein is a very intelligent guy, but he infuriates me sometimes when he states his point of view as an indisputable fact. His defense of Jimenez not being one of the top 10 pitchers based on one statistic alone really made no sense.
