A game like baseball has to be stat dependent, as the season is 162 games. There is no way you judge a player based on memory, unless you are the Rainman and you have to catch the Jays at 5 instead of the Wheel.

I agree with using stats but as I said it is when you get into the stat manipulation like the blog (or whatever it is) does that you can start to get into trouble.
I am not saying use watching the games as the be all and end all but that it should be used along with the stats to determine the overall rating.
Using either stats or watching as the only way to judge players isn't a good way to do it. There are aspects of the game that stats cannot and will not pick up.
And in my view anyone who has watched Rios the past two years can clearly see that he has not been fantastic.
