No you don't use one stat or metric to judge whose better or who has more value............

Using that logic you could argue that wins are a useless stat since they don't reflect value of pitchers.

Exactly what I was going for

But you just said to use runs scored and runs allowed. Now I'm not supposed to use runs scored?!

You really don't recognize how a stat can have value in a team setting versus an individual player?

Use as many stats and metrics as you want to judge a player, if you use only one, that's not a great evaluation of a player or comparing players.

I should have elaborated when I said exactly what i was looking for. I mean your reaction. I'm trying to say that yes, wins are an important stat, in fact the most important stat. Because that's all that matters. The point of my post was that using just runs is very inaccurate.

But you just said to use runs scored and runs allowed. I was just following your logic.

Sorry, but... can you please inform me as to how a team's total runs scored don't correlate to a team's ability to score runs? I don't care what metric you wish to use. If a team had the ability to score more... or less... runs, they would have.

But it began as a debate on the Cubs as a whole for the course of 65 years or whatever. You and Dab branched it off into individual players when you decided that Runs Scored didn't show how well a team could score runs... and that Runs Against didn't show how well a team could keep the other teams from scoring runs.
