If you can not argue a case using factual statistics, then you are only left with opinions and subjective thought. If you have a discussion based on opinions, then its a pretty worthless discussion since most often people do not change opinions based on what they have seen or experienced, even if things like defensive positioning, breaking the wrong way, not having good enough range are hard to measure.
Its just another example of why I hate that a horrible fielder can simply not get to a ball and it is no black mark against them, but instead its a black mark against the pitcher... A much better fielder can make an outstanding play to get to the ball, prevent a runner on 2nd from scoring, and get charged with an error.
