David Ortiz: The 2005 MVP

By Tangotiger, 04:26 PM

I love fangraphs.com. David has now come up with historical WPA, back to 2002. And, his presentation and navigation is superb:

David Ortiz, with the bat, was +8.5 wins. That includes a Clutchiness score of +3.6 wins. A-Rod, with the bat, was +5.7 wins, with a Clutchiness score of 0. It’s likely that Ortiz had one of the greatest clutch seasons of all time last year.
