I've been a strong advocate of including this stat for years now, particularly in light of the fact the data is available in each box score, but for some reason it isn't collected in histories. It always assisted my personal evaluation of a player and I found it useful.
Now, to the point of 'situational stats coded to have meaning'- I hope I quoted that correctly -I wouldn't want that as a criteria nor is that the nature of a specific stat. They exist simply to measure what's happened, with the prediction of what will happen left solely to the individual, if he wishes to utilize the stat and, as a consequence, give it particularly meaning. There is unequivocally no rationale, IMHO, to weighting a player tendency
simply because a particular stat reflects a certain performance. Stats simply measure the number of incidents and results for reflection and personal analysis. This is just one of those records I'd enjoy being able to peruse in my arsenal of decision making tools.
