FWIW, the other enormous problem with dumping on Roberts has to do with logic: the presumption of alternative outcomes.
One of the HUGE reasons that sabrmetrics has become popular in baseball is the fallacy of assumed outcome. Analytics are all about getting matchups before your player has a bad outcome.
