Yes I think you could be correct!
I just found the following 1990 quote from Eddie Epstein who was hired by the Orioles as a 'stat-man' (in Schwartz, The Numbers Game p.227) which fits perfectly with the concept and set-up of the stats-only game as outlined by you (and others here of course):
'If you've got a guy who's 23 or 24 [years old] and has been a professional player for 4 or 5 years, I don't care what the scouts think. I can look at the numbers.'
Most or all here may know of this already but it was new to me.
