Question

Why a clutch rating? Count me in the camp against the idea completely. People want to see clutch ratings because they've grown up w/ statistically naive announcers who have attributed random acts to some sort of "clutch" ability. With the exception of Jim Leyritz tell me one crappy hitter who has ever had the "clutch" label pinned on him? Ever notice its the great hitters who develop "clutch" reputations?

If you want to add some type of TANGIBLE rating, you could add Day/Night splits for batting average, as there is proof that this exists.
