I'm also a baseball nut and was an economics major in college yet I did not know what VORP was until this thread either... I'm still not ready to relearn what I know about baseball...
I like the marginal player idea, but it seems it's not realistically possible to measure the true "average" player (I've been trying to use marginal player analysis for my fantasy league drafts for 3 years now without much success). Perhaps this will inspire me to get up to speed on my Sabrmetrics. Anyone care to recommend an intro book into Sabrmetrics that doesn't talk down to the reader?
