Fangraphs is highly regarded and respected as one of the most accurate and informing analysis sites out there. They really do have some of the coolest ways to analyze talent. I highly recommend checking it out. I have never seen any baseball blog discount the conclusions of fan graphs.
They get more in depth than most GMs do. Whether or not that is a bad thing is up to the beholder.
Edit:
I am not saying I base my evaluation of players strictly on numbers. I am saying that Rios is better than he appears, an enigma of sorts. Like I said before, it is a lot easier to remember the bad and forget the good on a team like this.
Heres a question for you guys, if you could move either, which would you move, Rios or Wells?
