Stats only has always been a bit of a crapshoot when evaluating players. To play this way means willingly closing your eyes to a method of evaluating potential. But generally, players that perform above league average continue to perform at higher levels once promoted a little less than half the time. That strikes me as realistic.

I was waiting to hear your opinion about all this since I know you've been playing that way for years. Don't you think potential plays too big of a role, though, when actual stats are concerned?
