BPro's glossary is decidedly unhelpful on that point (have I ever mentioned that I really dislike proprietary stats?). I'll see what I can unearth.<BR/><BR/>UZR, at least, does include park corrections. That's one of the things, along with adjustments for handedness of hitter and pitcher, that set it apart from all other fielding systems. Of course, how exactly that's done is more or less a secret, so I'm uneasy about that one too. :)<BR/>-jJustinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-7993800823683413632007-08-24T14:15:00.000-04:002007-08-24T14:15:00.000-04:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>Another wonderful post. I just have one quick question. Why aren't Runs Created park-adjusted? 100 RC in a park like Coors or GAPB is not the same as 100 RC in Shea or Dodger Stadium (Chavez Ravine). Shouldn't they be park adjusted to get a truer indication of the offensive value a player brings to the table? <BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Davetexasdavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17215541522980498371noreply@blogger.com
