That is a question only you and your style of play can answer. I play stats only and like it better. Because it is more work IMO.
Orcin & I had a discussion about is and he made a good point. The ratings are only a single source of data you have to consider. Stats are another, scouting evaluations, injury ratings, all of them are data sources. Relying on one to the exclusivity of other is like wearing an eye patch because it's more challenging to dive with diminished depth perception.
But having said all that I still like stats only because it made me think about the stats and what they actually mean. That in turn has given me a greater understanding and appreciation of real baseball games, and real baseball stats. So I stick with it.
If you like it then keep doing it. But don't hesitate to turn it off and try another way. It's not a religion. You can come and go as you please.
