Here's something else I think is cool. VORP is one career statistic that doesn't work retroactively. Only the players' accomplishments in the simulation are taken into account when their career VORPs are calculated.

So, if you look at the career VORP leaders, you can tell who's had the most notable, productive careers in your baseball universe.

Here, then, are the top 10 batters from 2010-2016, according to VORP:

Code:
 1  Jason Heyward    577.79
 2  Pablo Sandoval   521.23
 3  Albert Pujols    475.57
 4  Hanley Ramirez   432.07
 5  Troy Tulowitzki  392.46
 6  Prince Fielder   390.49
 7  Jose Reyes       367.31
 8  Matt Kemp        355.95
 9  Colby Rasmus     349.87
10  Joey Votto       344.57
Numbers 11-20, in order, are Brian McCann, Evan Longoria, Kyle Blanks, Ryan Braun, Brett Wallace, Chase Utley, Jesus Montero, Joe Mauer, Matt Wieters, and Ryan Zimmerman.

The ten most productive pitchers over the same seven seasons, according to VORP, are:

Code:
 1  Tim Lincecum       470.62
 2  Stephen Strasburg  338.43
 3  Cole Hamels        336.78
 4  Madison Bumgarner  317.56
 5  Jon Lester         316.47
 6  Adam Wainwright    315.85
 7  Josh Johnson       307.76
 8  Zack Greinke       297.37
 9  Yovani Gallardo    273.04
10  Felix Hernandez    272.33
Numbers 11-20, in order, are Aroldis Chapman, Brandon Webb, Jair Jurrjens, Ricky Nolasco, Chad Billingsley, David Price, Cliff Lee, Ubaldo Jimenez, Neftali Feliz, and Bud Norris.
