there are many players whose talent is outside the sabermetric box

Jackie ROBINSON was one so is D erek JETER

This type of statement is the perfect example of what frustrates me so much. This is in part because I honestly don't even know what it means. How does ones talent fall outside of sabermetrics?

Jackie Robinson and Derek Jeter are two of the greatest players to ever play the game, which is even more amplified when analyzing their unbelievably consistent top-of-the-league sabermetric outputs.

Sabermetrics is not a box. They take into account many different facets of the game and applies them individually to each player's performance as an overall evaluation.

Just for comparison here, when analyzing sabermetrics, Jackie Robinson provided more value annually than the likes of Joe DiMaggio, Alex Rodriguez, Mike Schmidt, Stan Musial.

Jeter ranks right up there also, somewhere in between Robinson and Tony Gwynn.
