Yes, if you are a numbers geek who hasn't played at a very high level or been around that then you say player x has an OPS .04 points higher so he starts. There isn't a manager in baseball that is going to start Howie over Werth on this team unless Werth just doesn't heal.
Maybe not...I know I would...and not for .004 points. Werth is a genuine liability in the field. Howie ain't great, but he's better than Jayson. The are essentially the same hitter...
Asking someone if they played sports at a high level is when trying to debate an issue is...well...kinda snotty...
