There are indeed better formulas out there and even I tried to use the other RC formulas but the problems are when you have to raise a player's stats, its not simple enough to say in order for XR to be increased by 10%, I will raise his H, 2B, 3B, HR, BB by 10%. I had to do the same thing what Bill James did and at least this is better than not using any of the runs estimator formulas.
