I'm liking this more & more. The naked eye can't tell the difference between a .290 & .300 hitter. ("That means if you get just one extra flare a week, just one . . . you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium.") IRL, stats give us a greater degree of precision in our evaluation of players. The same principles are at work here: given more at-bats, we gain statistical differences between players that cannot be seen with the scout's eye. Nicely designed!
