Thanks. fwiw, I think Batting Runs is pretty well established. Though, in general, it seems like the linear weights based stats are well behind stats like Runs Created, in popularity.

That’s a solid article, Myron.
I’d be curious to see if Batting Runs catches on.
Like you mentioned, it’s a direct way to see a hitter’s production compared to the league.

Nice job.

ahh, great catch. I’ll see if I can get it changed to “per 650″ in the heading.

I really like the ability/value issue, especially around the MVP voting, like you say. Thanks …

Maybe you could touch on ability/value as you did with Khalil (it could work in the context of a MVP discussion).

FYI, in your spreadsheet, the heading is “Per 600″, but the formula is per 650.
