Let's face it, most people judge all these deals in hindsight.
Even Kimbrel's subpar 2016 season gets factored into assessments of that trade.
Shaw is a somewhat unusual case because we saw him for a whole season in 2016 and his production took a very unexpected leap forward at the major league level.
I'm in the middle when it comes to the new stats. I think there's always a tendency for these things to be taken too far.
For example that 450 foot home run. You don't really need to give me the exit velocity. I already had a pretty good hunch the ball was well hit.
