Sox 2006 VORP ratings


RME JICO

Recommended Posts

The sad thing is that even with the huge discrepancy in VORP, Anderson is still the better choice in CF when defense is considered. On the season thus far:

 

Anderson's VORP (-8.3) + FRAA* (+10) = +1.7

 

Mackowiak's VORP (+4.4) + FRAA* (-3) = +1.4

 

That means Anderson's defense is so much better than Mackowiak's that the defensive difference more than makes up for Anderson's sub mendoza line bat at a time when Mackowiak has an average that's 100+ points higher and an OPS that's 200+ points higher. That says a lot about Mackowiak's awful defense, but also says a lot about Anderson's defense, which is definitely Gold Glove caliber.

 

*FRAA = Fielding Runs Above Average

Only problem is that difficulty is not included in FRAA or FRAR for that matter. RATE2 is such has that, but you can't compare RATE2 and VORP, becuase they aren't equally scaled.
