Forget it. I've given up. Again, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. His mind is made up, and if Jesus came down from the heavens, and told him he was wrong, he'd argue with him.

I will use your own methods against you to demonstrate why it doesn't make sense to view baseball players the way you do. You said Ichiro was only 5 percent better than an average player based on RC+. Well, Jim Kaat's ERA+ is only 108, that makes him just 8 percent better than a league average pitcher.
