| kinda shocked when I typed in "Prado" and nothing came up. he was having an amazing season until his injury, and probably would've been on a fair number of these lists if not for said injury. sad...
also, to the point of sabermetrics, despite the fact that I hate them because they have a tendency to complicate things, I think it is important to know about them and why they matter, which is why I like the fact that they're on here. for instance, people know that Aubrey Huff had a very good year, but they might not know just HOW good a year it was until they look at his WAR and see that he basically gave his team an extra 6 wins, which was very important since the NL West divisional race went right down to the last day... |
