The frustration that I find with the 'advanced stats' guys is this amazing propensity to take their stats as gospel, as some absolute fact, and come to decisive conclusions about players, based on that one stat.
It's the irony that they arrogantly parade their stats around, and then completely mis-use them by believing in their value over and above - and often to the exclusion of - other stats.
stats are pieces of information, nothing more, nothing less.

Ok. I should clarify the fact that when I watch him play I think he looks like garbage out there. The stats simply back up my assessment.
