Interesting analysis. I track my batters WAR values from year to year but for pitchers I use FIP- since I feel that WAR undervalues relievers, and I want to see if a pitcher is doing well independent of their usage (and now that I wrote this down, I realize WAR definitely has a usage component, but I'm not aware of another stat that shows the value of defense like WAR does).
I feel like good fielding teams receive fewer PP than good hitting teams due to the lack of defense-oriented PP achievements. Annandale has always been starved for PP, while my other teams have done really well (factoring out the windfalls those teams have gotten).
That was one reason I changed Annandale from defense-first to a more hitting oriented team for a couple of seasons. But I didn't enjoy it, so I switched back, thinking that if I just got better hitters who were also good fielders that they'd do better (brilliant idea, eh?). They *have* done better but still it pales in comparison to my other teams.
I guess your analysis could point out what types of players are most efficient at generating PP?
