Tom, do you ever think that Sabermetrics backfire sometimes? I do agree that they are a great way to evaulate perhaps unknown talent or show you some things about a veteran that will add to your interest in him.
I ask this because all off season the rumor was that JD Drew was coming to the Red Sox. We were then bombarded with reports and accounts via numbers numbers numbers about why he is a Red Sox hitting dream come true.
Now they threw all that shit at me via Radio, newspapers etc. What I saw was a guy that is always going on the DL, hits with little to no passion for his career and an all around "average" player. I just knew it would NEVER work here.
Basically my question is....
Should gut instinct overrule what all the numbers in the world say sometimes? |
