VORP ignores fielding, which means that VORP is not a “total” type of stat. WARP is such a stat.
I’ve seen many articles like this that uses WAR, good articles at Fangraphs or ESPN or Beyond The Boxscore. In this day and age, ignoring fielding is really being lazy (or ignorant). (I would not use WARP, because of its reliance on FRAA.)
Anyway, WAR or WARP, not VORP.
