Thanks. And don't worry, it won't even be in my sig. As I said above I think I now prefer to keep it to ourselves. Apparently you have to be together and buzzed to enjoy it, lol.

Honestly, you think that chart shows something? You really do? That fucking chart says Milton Bradley is a worse defender than Soriano. Also, thanks for the link to the glossary, the glossary that describes in detail how fucking dumb a majority of the statistics being used are.

No, but via a metric containing UZR, WARP, VORP, and BABIP, he somehow concluded that he slpet with my dad.

That's only because <b>WARP </b>stands for <b>W</b>homping the <b>A</b>nus of <b>R</b>uby's <b>P</b>op.

Uhm, yes, the article really hasn't been proofread it appears. It has some spelling, grammatical errors. But I don't see anything wrong with that sentence. Or do you just not understand WAR?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Is "theoretically" anything like "hypothetically?"

What is "WAR?"
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm guessing the fact that you don't know what WAR is it why it makes no sense. WAR is wins above replacement. It's the amount of wins a player provides a team over a replacement player. A replacement player is about equal to a minor league player any team could find to replace any given player (or something like that). It's not a stat he made up. It's used fairly often in the new era statistics.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's VORP or WARP you jackass.

[rok]

Yeah, I always knew about VORP, not WAR. It just sounds lame.

[veryzer]

WAR is hell.

I don't frequently read any of them, honestly. BCB can be good, yours is generally good, there's probably some others. They can all be hit or miss though, depending on the day.

Thanks Rubes. I'll take that.
