I have a hard time understanding what is theoretical about vorp, It is based entierly on AB, Hits, doubles, Hr's, walks, etc.... All of the "normal" stats that people have. What it DOES do- is it removes the statistics that are based on luck (like RBI's or runs) I mean vorp is no more theoretical than batting average. And no one seems to have a problem with that one.
