Deserved Leverage
I don’t remember this, but this was from two years ago, and talked about again today.
Basically, when you calculate the value of a reliever, you multiply whatever value you get by the Leverage Index he merits based on his talent. This would be analogous to figuring out a player’s talent level as a fielder, and then multiplying it by the opportunities he sees (and the opps would be tied to his talent, such that a better fielder will find himself at SS, 2B, 3B, CF, and a worse fielder in the corners or 1B).
If you have a crappy fielder in CF, you can’t punish him too harshly because the team happens to put him there. Think Junior near the end of his career.
