Kind of off the subject a little but there is a good article at FJM about not needing obp,ops,etc. to know that Babe Ruth and Ted Williams were good hitters. All you need for stats are avg, hr and rbi to tell if a hitter is good or not. Meant to add - I know we shake our heads about these kind of viewpoints but they are probably (sadly) not the minority viewpoint. http://firejoemorgan.blogspot.com/
