Calculated Total Value Rankings

PrintNoticed a link to this work posted on Lookout Landing, so I followed the links. There is an info section, and linkage to position player and pitcher sections. From the Info section, this explanation of player value calculations is given:
"Total value (TotalValue) measures value above replacement level for position players, in runs. It is based on hitting runs above replacement (RAR), as well as a composite fielding measure (average runs saved according to zone rating and revised zone rating). This measure includes adjustments for differences in difficulty among defensive positions, as well as differences in difficulty of leaves (AL>NL). Pitchers are rated via two measures--RAR (runs above replacement) and FIP-Runs. RAR measures actual value similar to total value for position players, whereas FIP-Runs is a defense-independent estimate of value. Closers receive a bonus reflecting the leverage of situations in which they pitch. For details on all methods, please see this series of posts:"
Interesting that the Rangers have six players ranked 10.0 or above, then look at the pitcher rankings. Sorrow prevents me from revealing the rankings, but let it be said that Sidney Ponson (listed as a Ranger) is high on the TEX list.

Makes sense
Ponson was the best starting pitcher the Rangers had all season.

He's been OK for the Yankees
other than that disaster he threw against us.

well when 2 of your 5 starts are disasters
it kind of nullifies a couple of other decent starts.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

CJ Wilson
7th from last in the AL. Just ahead of Jason Jennings. Ouch.

Wow
Gary Matthews Jr. lower than Broussard. I was actually surprised at how high Millwood ranked.
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.
millwood compared to padilla
doesn’t really make sense

Millwood has had a much better year peripherally than his ERA has shown.

Oops...
didn’t realize it was AL only.
Otherwise, Hanley would definitely be on the list.
Hmmm, I didn’t realize how bad of a year fielding-wise that Hamilton was having….
Kind of surprising since his RZR was .898 last year in CF.

i'll be damn
