Stats Geek and WPA

The Stats Geek brings Fan Graphs and WPA to the masses this week, and he uses the numbers to confirm what we suspected, Craig Wilson=good, Jeromy Burnitz=bad, Jim Tracy's theory that all we need is clutch hits=shit. The fact is simple, we don't need more clutch hits, we need more hits, period. Like me when I did a similar post, the Geek is mystified by Sanchez's poor WPA number. I do agree with the conclusion that if he keeps hitting, the number will go up, because a guy batting .319/.356/.511 will eventually have a positive contribution to the team winning games, and that's all there is to it.
