A lot of the thrill of OOTP and real life baseball are from that for analytic people. It's similar to stock market.
Agree, and this is one of the beauties of the game to me. Even if you're not a big stat guy, like me, the game is still very enjoyable. You can spend a lifetime coddling baseball stats if that's your thing, or you can just sit and watch the field and the game, sort of let them tell you a story. This is what OOTP does for me, tells me a story about a baseball universe.
