I'm glad they are getting the recognition.
The integration of their stats seems so far to be sensible. As the articles have said, the simplest are very easy, hits HR that sort of thing.
Stuff like batting average is much tougher. The couple seasons I looked at were only about half as long as the National or American league season.
How many times have we seen players have great batting averages before the All-Star break, but fade in the last half of the season?
That to me is a bigger difference than a perceived difference in pitchers abilities.
It will be interesting to see how they handle including them.
