I don't know if that's really a formula since I just made it up in my head, but I'm basically trying to get an RBI efficiency stat. So the number of RBIs you get minus the number of times you drove in yourself, divided by the total # of runners on base when you came to the plate.

Shouldn't that give you how efficient you were at driving in runs? That wouldn't penalize leadoff hitters who have no one on base in front of them, etc.

So if a hitter has 120 RBIs, 35 homers and left 130 runners on base would have an RBI% of .395.

Or for a leadoff guy who has 40 RBIs, 5 homers, and left 40 runners on base would have an RBI% of .467.

Of course, I don't know if they keep up with the total # of runners left on base for the entire season for each player, and I don't know if that formula actually does what I'm trying to get it to do.

I got a C in STAT405...
Makes sense to me.

It's not even close to the same thing. Yours actually makes sense.

OK. Wow. Please sign up to participate in my online league. Hold out for a team in the Darn Tootin' Division please.

Well, better get that application in for the Yanks GM. I haven't read a statement this silly in a while. I really hope Markus chooses his testers wisely.

You are aware that virtually all fantasy leagues use counting stats pretty much exclusively???? VORP is worthless in Fantasy leagues too!!!!

Fantasy baseball is a complete different animal than OOTP. We're talking about OOTP and real baseball here. What about you?

Well, a guy who hits a 2-run shot when his team is up by 10 runs is obviously more valuable than the guy who draws a walk or hits a double to lead off the 9th with his team trailing by a run or with the game tied.

As is a guy who homers with the bases loaded as opposed to homering with the bases empty.

Chris Jaffe: "How closely do you follow current work in sabermetrics?"

Bill James: "I'm afraid I'm very bad about it. My new year's resolutions every year are to lose weight and to start paying more attention to the sabermetric debates. But by nature, I just do my own work."
