Looks like good stuff if you understand it and know how to use it.

Yeah, a big problem with the numbers is lack of understanding what they mean or using them for something they’re not intended for. 
But look at how far baseball statistics have come in just the last generation. In my generation, few other than the most rabid baseball people knew there were other stats than BA, ERA, and FPct. With technology coming so far, it’s enabled a much higher percentage of people looking at baseball to become aware of a much wider range of statistics. That’s made it possible to dispel one heck of a lot of baseball myths, as well as to support a heck of a lot of beliefs. In the end I believe the game is far better understood by those who really need to understand it like ML front offices, and at the same time not lost its charm for the casual baseball fan.
