Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2611081, member: 1969"] I like the bases produced stat you come up with. Good stuff. Many broadcasts now show a player's OPS as a basic "advanced" stat, and I feel bases per at bat could easily replace that (and possibly removing steals). The bases per game (or bases per at bat) is a simple way to explain a player's contributions without there being much team dependence. I dislike runs produced stats (standard or the way you have adjusted)... way too team dependent. If interpreted incorrectly RBI's can be a bad measure. As for players not trying to get hit. Tell that to Craig Biggio - he used the Hit by Pitch as a weapon. His getting hit 83 times over a 3 year period, with big bats behind him was quite the weapon. [/QUOTE]
