The Red Sox response almost makes it sound like they think James was saying no one would notice if only the Red Sox players were replaced.

I think what he said is absolutely true except I’d stretch it to 5 years.

I thought I double posted it & deleted what I thought was the second one.

But Bill James ought to go back to his night shift guarding a bean cannery in Kansas. And take Billy Beane & "baseball consultants"with him.

Poor Bill is getting slammed by players all over the place. Baseball players are pretty thin skinned.

I guess Poor Bill is getting an education on another of baseball's unwritten rules.

Would the game not go on?

Isnt he technically correct?

I love that because of Kerry Wood you hate Bill James. That pleases me.

What baseball opinions do you find crazy?

Of course it's true. People cant handle the truth.

Yea, more information about the sport is definitely a bad thing.

It's right here in the thread

No difference to the sport three years after every MLB player vanishes Leftovers style? BATSHIT crazy Imo.

I don't hate Bill James.

I hate people that treat what he says as law simply because he came up with some arbitrary formula to grade a player on a given day. He's a smart guy, but he isn't exempt from criticism. The OP is all you need to see. His basic premise is correct, but the way he worded it is terrible and completely wrong and deserves to be laughed at.

Sure, people would miss Mike Trout, but there'd be a new Mike Trout (best player in the game). How long would it take until baseball was back? 5 years? 10?

But for some reason, I read your post like you were talking about some other opinions he's had.

Agreed.

Probably. Certainly longer than the batshit crazy opinion of three years.

Im glad you don't hate him. For a baseball fan such as yourself, he's great.

Game score is a tiny part of what Bill James has done. You are way overselling that aspect of his work.

I dont know man. I love baseball. I dont think I would allow myself to mourn longer than a year.

Fuck? Year 3...the White Sox have a 5 game lead in September and you are crying for Daniel Palka?

It's not about mourning. James said there would be "no difference" in three years. Hell, the game and players might even be better, but there would absolutely be a giant difference three years down the road.
