I don't have much time, so I'll keep it quick.
Bluenoser, I do enjoy crunching numbers, but I also enjoy simply watching the beauty of baseball. You crunch numbers with traditional stats too, it's just different numbers than sabermetrics, so I'm not too sure why that matters. But yeah, I agree with the idea of enjoying the emotions and fun of a game!
Also I know your question was rhetorical, but a double is worth .74 runs above the average plate appearance (this number changes slightly from year to year).
I'm glad we were able to have a friendly debate. :]
Also, the OOTP development team is being cheeky over here. I just saw the stream and all the things we were discussing are customizable, which is fantastic. Thank you to the team for doing that, and I suppose my original post is a bit unnecessary now! This is great to hear for sabermetric people such as myself and traditionalists, so everyone wins! I hope everyone has fun playing OOTP 21 their own way!
