Like Grandy, another bright, informed player…
This article has some interesting quotes from Ibanez. Of course, he is wrong on a lot of levels, but I have to give him tons of credit for being somewhat familiar with sabermetric defensive metrics and with sabermetrics in general. I would venture a guess that less than 1 in 20 players has ever heard of the word sabermetrics, or if they have, they have no idea what it means.
The other interesting thing is how players assess themselves. We have discussed this before. It has to be one of the more difficult things for a professional athlete to do. You are pretty much unable to see the forest for the trees, among other obstacles, not the least of which are pride and ego.\
I would love to sit down with a player like Ibanez or Granderson and just shoot the breeze about baseball in general and perhaps about sabermetrics and scouting.
