Ruby? Bz?
Because the Fielding Bible guys did. Every inning. Every play. Then they watched each play again in slow motion, and discussed it. And charted it. <i>Every</i> play. 162 games.
They did the same with with every Seattle Mariners games. Every single one.

Did Bz or Ruby watch every single inning, every <i>play</i> of every single Mariner game? Because if they didn't, then how can I trust their analysis that Ibanez didn't suffer a drop-off in his fielding last year?
<b>Especially</b> how can I trust that they know more than those Fielding Bible guys who DID watch every single Mariner and Reds contest.

Simply put, I can't.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The Fielding Bible uses subjectivity and relativity with their analysis. They LOOK at each play and determine if other guys would have made that play. That is the exact opposite of what you are advocating. It isn't a walk or a hit or a strike out. It is whether or not a player made a play and whether or not everyone else would have made that play. That isn't averages. That is a lot of people with a lot of time watching a lot of baseball and making judgments based on what they SEE.

Do I need to look at my ass to see if there's dookie after I drop a deuce every time? No, because I've taken enough shits to know better. When it comes to someone as god awful a fielder as Adam Dunn...it doesn't take watching every single inning of every single game to know he sucks
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy

Well, Fuk sucks with the bat. Right? He sucks.
So did Neifi Perez. So are you saying that they are EXACTLY the same?
Or might there be a slight difference? Or a big difference, even, but still not big enough to get him out of the "sucks" category?

That's all I'm saying. For fielding, Dunn is indeed in the "sucks" category.
That's the sledgehammer approach.
Looking a little deeper, one finds that he sucks less than Ibanez with the glove, especially last year.
There is a mountain of evidence to back up my claim.
Your evidence is saying, "He fucking sucks."

I guess I didn't even realize I was arguing for or against Ibanez and thought you were only talking about Dunn (I wonder why I thought that.) I'm simply responding to your bolded response to Clapp. So take out the Ibanez vs Dunn stuff and my points still stand.

You are arguing both for and against stats and scouting right now.

I'm arguing for heavily-researched analysis, as opposed to a guy watching a player in 10-15 games (out of 162) and stating "He's the worst in the world," as if it were a an unchallengeable fact.

No, dude. You are talking out of two sides of your mouth. You can't say that stats are way superior to scouting and then say stats based on scouting are valid.

Watch Bradley get ejected after he gets called out on a tag at first base. Is this really something to lose your shit over?

I started laughing at about 1:45. It looks like he flips off the fans.

Boy...this is going to be a fun three years.

He's going to be awesome.
And who's to say that his brand of fired-up intensity/insanity isn't exactly what this team needs?
