In baseball, everything is relative. One of the things I look at when watching a game is the speed of the game... how quick the top players are, how fast they react to hard ground balls, how fast they can turn a double play, how quick they are on back picks, even bunt plays. Top teams and top players play fast. Lesser players, regardless of how fast they can run or how hard they can throw or hit just can't keep up. Lots of guys can put up big numbers when standing still, but when you see top players move on the field they are different. When you've seen enough games you can tell a top team, a top player based on the way they play. This is why some guys with big numbers aren't getting attention, while other players with similar or lesser numbers are getting a lot of attention.
