Can someone create a calculation example? That would help explain this rather complex stat. --CPAScott 18:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Critiques of VORP?

It seems like this page should include some of the criticisms of VORP (built on top of runs created, and therefore underestimates walk and home run value), and also a discussion of the problems associated with the use of replacement level as a baseline? US Patriot has some good articles talking about the these issues at his site [1]. I could try to whip up something, but I'm just learning about this stuff myself. Jinaz 17:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
