I don't like Patrick Roy, his numbers say I should love him. People here don't like the Sedin Twins, the numbers say we should love them.

I don't like Oliver, never seems to pitch well for me. At no point did I say it was a bad signing by the Jays (I did say "my condolences" in jest based on my previous statements of dislike of the guy) just that I don't like him and I'm glad he's no longer on my team.
The numbers don't say you should like anyone. They say you should respect their talents.

I can see you disliking Oliver because he hasn't pitched well when you watched, but to completely dismiss the numbers (which you did, but claim not to) is ridiculous.
