Further On VORP

If you read, "No Randy...No Problem," and you understand what VORP (Value Over Replacement Player) is--it is clearly defined in the article--but do not know how it is calculated, and subsequently would like to know; well I wish I could give you an answer.

What I do know is that it is calculated by using all of one players numbers, such as AVG, OBP, SLG, SB, CS, etc....and comparing it to the league average player numbers.

All of these numbers--the league averages, and player VORP-- are posted at baseballprospectus.com, in the statistics section.
