Are you talking about Stat Cast? It's pretty overwhelming. Some of it interesting, but most of it distracting.

Yeah, I don't see too much value in that.

Playing in daily leagues, I try to use stats to my advantage. Unfortunately, however, the results have been mixed at best.

One good thing about stats, I suppose, is that you can pay as much or as little attention to them as you like.
