I'm very much a SABR head. I believe that you can analyze and predict to a certain degree the performance of a team and a single player. SABR stats have been proven time and time again to be very accurate. One of the key discoveries by the SABR community is that runs scored and runs allowed are directly connected to wins and loses. If you go through past season, you will see great proof that a positive run differential almost always leads to a winning record.
I do also believe that there are human factors at play that can't be quantified. And I do believe that these variables have play a large role in creating anomalies in the system. I acknowledge that, but for these anomalies to happen on a consistent basis in the game just proves to me that there is some kind of flaw in the brains behind the game. Hopefully the developers see this and fix it.
