But what has he based it on...


I don't want to hear "he said this... he said that".

I want hard-core proof -- statistics or something, that PROVE public UZR isn't accurate.


if Jon Heyman came on Twitter tomorrow morning and said "Mark Teixeira isn't really a baseball player... he's a MAGICIAN!" Would you <Censored>ing believe him?

I'm not going to look back through the 100s of tweets he's made in the last few days to look for it, if you want to, be my guest. All I know is that he was repeatedly replying to users on Twitter saying that he's been informed that public UZRs differ from the real UZRs that the MLB teams have. I'm not taking it as fact, all I'm doing is putting it out there. I'd certainly trust people who actually have something to do with the sport at being able to correctly keep data then some nerds who spend their time coming up with ridiculous stats all day.

I never denied what he said, all I am saying is I want some proof, statistics, report, w/e that shows public UZR Ratings aren't correct.


Because I went through Heyman's tweets. Took me less than a minute to find only 3 tweets where he mentions public uzr ratings being off/wrong, but no factual reason to prove it. Didnt take long, called Ctrl + F. Went all the way back through like November 7th -- only 3 tweets. But none of them PROVE anything


Until I read a report published that proves public UZR ratings are different, I'll listen to the nerds at Frangraphs.

It was a lot more than 3 tweets, and I was looking for his original one where he explained how he got that info.
