My issue with stats only is that I've never found minor league stats are predictive or helpful of anything. So how would I know when to promote someone if the stats aren't accurate? When I play with ratings I see players who are clearly ready for the majors struggle in AA or AAA, and then when I promote them to the majors they do exactly as I expect.
Maybe some people doing stats only would say "he's not ready" or that's part of the experience but I think it's extremely difficult when, at least in my experience, minor league stats aren't accurate.
Or the draft, I'm not sure how you'd be able to draft someone accurately when virtually every player I look at in the draft has good stats coming out of HS/College.
Good for you if you can play it this way, but I don't see how.
