I get why it has value.

I just hate it. I'm throwing a tantrum about it. Let me do this.

I don't like that defensive metrics are included in it. I don't keep up with it as much as I use to, but I know they use to always state defensive metrics are very hard to accurately judge. Don't get me wrong, I value defense greatly. I don't have any better way to value the overall value of a player though, so I do agree with Barry that it is basically the best way to get a decent value of a player. I do like wOBA and wRC+ for offense though.

Anyway, I hope my gut is correct and it's not just my Nats hate, cuz it's telling me Eaton just went from underrated to overrated! Nah, he's been a damn good top of the order guy, just hope he starts falling off in a year or two. gnats
