Yeah it tells you if a guy is useful in a spot. It doesn't telll you everything but it tells you enough.

However a guy cam be great with just 70 rbis in the middle of the order and it could have to do with the rest of the team and that is when the analytics come into play. They compliment the intangibles, they don't eliminate them.
