Helping who to understand?
Digit-heads that think they know more than everyone else?
The fact that less than 6 people are quoted as being behind this thought process is really,really,really unimportnat in comparison to all others involved in baseball analysis.
Some people here need to get into the real world rather that talk to inate objects all day.

Elmer,
If you want us to take you seriously, your going to have to start providing concrete responses to the studies that have been done - rather than making personal attacks simply because you think we're not "in the real world".
The bottom line is we believe those "professionals" you refer to are, in fact, beginning to pay more attention to DIPS as well as other statistical analysis. From the way you've been presenting yourself, we shouldn't have paid any attention to Bill James either.
If you can provide something more than the fact you believe the professional world is laughing at us, we'd be happy to consider it.
Henry
ps: and I can quote you as saying "If one professional (A & UP) ballplayer backs the DIPS thought I will back off and admit I am wrong. Just one. ". I guess you upped the number...
