Specifically you said
the stats and numbers people like James use are borne and derived from the more modern game, and IMO do not properly or fully take in the context and changes that have occurred over the years.
Put another way, if the metrics fairly rate all those players consistent with our expectations, they probably are rating Sisler fairly too. IMO.
