More Quick-and-Dirty OF Rankings (by WARP)

by philkid3 on May 19, 2008 11:35 PM CDT

This stems from another diary about the best outfields in baseball. There I put together a quick list based ranking the various outfield by putting together the total WSAB contributed by their starters in the outfield. I decided to do the same thing (while watching that oh-so-painful game), but this time using Wins Above Replacement Player (which should create more separation at this point in the season).

Once again, I didn't take depth in to account. That screws a couple teams, so I might contribute that later. Also, once again, this is not supposed to be perfect, just a quick and objective reference list.

The original question was if we have the best outfield, and this would certainly provide some support that we're at least in the argument.

Ryan Ludwick has been scary good. Also, Milton Bradley has been worth 2.0 WARP as a DH so far.

Pittsburgh: 5.9 (Nady 2.7, McLouth 2.0, Bay 1.2)

Interesting stuff

Thanks for posting that.

Along those same lines (sort of), I rifled through the Equivalent Runs rankings to determine how each club’s top offensive one-two punch compared to Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley, the Rangers’ two EqR leaders.

The results may surprise you.
