The conventional results give me an idea of the market is likely to price the players. Intuitively, I know which arms I prefer -- usually those in better pitcher's parks or on a team with a decent offense in a weak division (better chance of wins).
I don't care how much these arms are worth -- I want to know which I am more likely to acquire for the lowest cost relative to the room.
I think we're both doing the same thing -- I'm intuitively/subjectively tweaking expectation without the use of a calculator while you're adjusting the calculator to land on expectations passing the eye test.
Neither is especially scientific - they're more empirical.
It's a different strokes scenario. I'd rather make the subjective adjustments and spend more time doing deep dives on players my colleagues favor more than me as opposed to trial and error changing calculator inputs to land on something I feel is useful. Your mileage may vary, check local listings, etc.
