A March 4th Reply to "Baseball Statistics and You" on The Crawfish Boxes [SBN blog of the Astros]

"Like David, I also enjoy reading and thinking about new statistics which are developed. That’s just part of my natural curiosity. But my pet peeve is that many people who learn and adopt these stats, take them as gospel and don’t understand [forget*] that the stats can, and should be, taken with a grain of salt (meaning that they should be combined with other information)." ~ by clack on Mar 4, 2010 12:07 PM EST Ever been to an unfamiliar mall and looked at the directory to find the universal "you are here" identifier? Well, this comment that I linked to and its original post are where I'm currently at, if anybody cares. Not intended to make flame. Intended instead to, perhaps, provoke further discussion. * the orginal comment does not have a strikethrough or "forget" in brackets; that's my doing.
