The sabermetric charge lead by Bill James and Baseball Prospectus have opened the eyes to different statistics such as On Base Percentage and VORP(Value Over Replacement Player). Many baseball traditionalist have rejected sabermetrics and its followers due to the traditional ways of scouting and many baseball traditionalist have argued that they already use statistics to analyze the game. The sabermetrics community along with the traditional baseball men need to end the division amongst who is right and who is wrong and just realize that in order to win you must have effective scouting along with in depth statistcal analysis with not just traditional stats such as batting average or homeruns but with VORP, FRAR, OBP, EqA and so forth.
