Saying "real baseball people" use SABR stats is elitist.

No, it's not. It's a fact. People who seriously evaluate baseball players use UZR and other advanced defensive stats when evaluating defense. They don't use fielding percentage.

By "Real baseball people," I meant people who are paid to analyze baseball. I don't consider myself a real baseball person either.

No, but in this case it is.

I can't tell if Lucas French is pitching better than Jarrod did in their debuts. Either way, JARROD WASHBURN V2.0, BUT YOUNGER!

[metsguy234]

IYO it is.
