My guess is people who need all these newfangled stats in the real world, for some reason, are either unable to figure things out by what they see from players or they just don't believe what their eyes are showing them. I have never looked at any sabermetric stat in my life and yet I know as much about players and their value as anyone who comes to their conclusion of a player by poring over those sabermetrics. I wonder how that's possible.

So was the 2002 Oakland A's implementation of sabermetrics a fluke? Did they just get lucky on that 20 game win streak, or could it have been a result of that implementation?
