This gets back into how sabermetrics has damaged baseball. People sight them as facts. And they have absolutely no idea what went into creating them. Done zero investigating as to how it is compiled, what is the reasoning behind it, the credentials of the one who came up with it. If you can't explain it, how can you put faith in it? But people recite it in debates as if it is a bible verse quoted from the divine and act like it puts a period at the end of the discussion. They are calculations based on the OPINION of whoever came up with the ratings.
