As someone who has opposed all the analytics in the game, I must say that I think some of this was a "coming out" party for analytics.
Just ordered a book (Ahead of the curve:inside the baseball revolution) by Brian Kenny of MLB network which promises to allow me to forget the old way of measuring.
Frankly, it seems to work in evaluating but oh so hard for a guy who measured on in Avg, Hits, Rbit, etc. Beginning to see the light just a bit.
Great and unexpected series.
