I think PECOTA is pretty genius. That and WPA are in my mind the two best things that have come out in the last ten years or so. It seems like the rest, like VORP, are just new ways to express not getting out and hitting XBH. It pretty much tells me nothing that's not already on the back of a baseball card if you know how to look at it.
