This Gem comes from Phillies GM Ruben Amaro:
"I do not buy numbers defensively. At all," Amaro said. "I look at fielding percentage. But that other business? I don’t buy it a lick. I think defense is subjective. You know, if you watch a guy, whether he has range or not. You can’t study a guy’s routes to the ball by the numbers. It doesn’t happen.

"We subscribe to what our guys see with their eyes, especially when it comes to defense."

Bill James’ head just exploded.

The way he ends up face down-ass up really makes this

For the record, I’m glad that Raul is having some ‘success’ @ Philly. Hearing his views about Ichiro earlier in the season means I will probably like him forever.
