But sabermetrics weighs certain stats as being more important than others, how was that determined. Was that subjective?
Trial and error, determining which stats led to team success and which stats were negligible in that regard.
The first thing you do when you create an advanced stat like WAR or OPS+ or FIP is to run it against previous players and seasons to determine whether or not it truly illuminates the gap between good, bad, and average. A stat that says the top 3 players of all time were Babe, Willie and Barry is a whole lot better than a stat who says the best 3 of all time were Reuben Sierra, Bob Hamelin, and Ron Santo.
Ok that is a statistical error 101. All stats aren’t good for every situation. Plus a stat correlating doesn’t mean any level of causation

Who's to know in 5, 10 or 20 years if a new fWARLGBTQ+commaVBT23-DC stat won't be better.
If another stat comes along that's better than the ones that currently exist, I'd be happy to hear it's arguments.
Until then, use the best we've got now. Which is WAR, not "Back in my day, Joe Carter was the ****! Now get off my lawn!!!"

Why don't you just say "ok boomer" while you are at it.

That’s why wRC+ is the better stat. It tells us who is truly the better hitter. Base stats don’t take enough factors into account.
And no, I don’t believe in just using wRC+.
OPS and OPS+ both have a lot of value as well.Also, all star appearances tell nothing about who is the better hitter. Just like RBI tells nothing about a hitters ability.
Not disagreeing, but it tells me how the player was regarded amongst his peers. Lile I said Carter was considered one of the best players of his best position, but Huff never was.
Like I said, I watched them both play and would have never considered Huff better.
Again, that’s the beauty of the stats we have now. They show the true value of players much better than the “eye test”
No they don’t all the time. There are more of them. Many of which are overused by people who don’t understand them and there limitations

That or sabermetric values are overrated. Not saying I believe that, but there are always alternative explanations for things.
In the case of Carter, he is probably worth less to his team because his mentality was to put the ball in play rather than to just get on base. Which would indicate high RBI vs low BB total. I will always contest that there is a place for that kind of mentality. I think all stats only tell part of the picture. The stats say everyone who can get on base probabilities are they are going to score runs. But life doesn't always work that way, I think you need a guy like Carter who is going to put the ball in play with a runner on base rather than try and draw a walk.

As long as you value more than any one whole stat. That seems to be where this argument gets hung up.
The only people who think sabermetrics are wrong or overrated are people that believe a player was better than he truly was. Often times, metrics prove players were not as good as people remember, and that makes people upset.
You said yourself that you’re old, so it’s only natural you wouldn’t really understand. Humans are stubborn and don’t like new ideas, even if they’re better.
So in making the case for objective metrics, you use subjective logic like "you're old so you don't understand" and "Humans are stubborn and don't like new ideas". Both of those statements rely on experience and anecdotal data and can not be objectively proven.
I mean, it’s not wrong though. It’s been shown many times throughout history that people prefer to stick with ideas they already know, and don’t like change even if it’s for the better. Older people tend to not understand new technology as well as younger people that have grown up with it. There’s nothing wrong about that.
Ugh that is a just poor thinking it is literally the definition of prejudice. You are pre judging based on age when the truth is the differences within a population can be as drastic as the differences between populations. You need to stop trying to do any form of analysis. Your assumptions, much like sabermetrics are painfully flawed

No....you use multiple imperfect stats to triangulate. You should NEVER use a singular stat no matter how good you think it is. This is the example of pseudoscience and not understanding stats that is prevalent amongst the sabermetrics community.

That makes sense. They might have to make defensive stats go to 125 for him!
