VORP, JustVORP, Rany, Murray Chass, and everything else
Devil Fingers gets his hands dirty and looks at the differences between what VORP does and what a tweaked version offers. He concludes with an open letter to Rany:
Dear Rany, If this does get to you—please advocate VORP being fixed/put out to pasture in its present form. The tools with which to do so are there, as as been pointed out. Even if Dan Fox can’t give you guys Simple Fielding Runs anymore (which would fix the embarrassing issues regarding defense and BP), you could at least use RARP (based on EqA/R) in your team audits and as your flagship stat, since it is a stand-in for the correct linear weights (albeit, in the case of EqA, an overly complicated one).
Rany is also another fine gentleman over at BPro, willing to listen. Though at this point, I have to believe that Clay will be moving and shaking things, no matter how esoteric things may seem to those not knee-deep in this.
