Yeah, I rarely do this. Other than to get history for my league. But I agree the game does overdo it with the sabermetrics. But you've got kids writing 30-page papers convincing Markus that VORP is the new black and do, he goes with it. Whatever works. Who needs HRs, RBI and SB when you have Jamesian Discourse on the Ethics of Scrappiness or some shit.
