So anyway, I'm not gonna bother doing a complicated anaysis of a trade based on the player's stats, since we cannot seem to decide on which stats to compare.

There are ways that I use to evaluate players, and JL or JG may have different ways of doing it, which can lead to different results, and who's to say who's method is better?

You can make a "correct" evaluation, and a hitter can hit a cold or hot straek that knocks the whole thing out of balance.

Smoltz vs. Johnson is a good example:

Who is better?

If you look at total points, it's Smoltz, but if you look at average FPs per start for the season, it's Johnson, but if you look at the last month or 6 weeks it's Smoltz.....

Absolutley not, BTW, looking to turn this into a discussion about who's methods are , in fact, better...
