From: Gnork on 12 Dec 2009 12:52 Thanks to a nudge from the redoubtable Mr. Soames I looked up the EqA ratings for major league players. I filtered my search to show only those with 300 or more plate appearances so only players with significant playing time would show. There were 274 players with 300 or more PA in 2009. Not surprisingly Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer wer number 1 and number 2 by significant margins. Here are the Red Sox on the list: 17 Youkilis 35 Bay 52 Drew 89 Scutaro (with Toronto) 109 Pedroia 135 Ellsbury 148 Lowell 165 Ortiz 249 Varitek (would be worst on an after May list) 267 Green A few others of interest: 241 Beltre (please DO NOT sign him) 262 Renteria (paying for lousy shortstops all over baseball) 274 D. Navarro (don't wonder why Tampa got another catcher)

Navarro (don't wonder why Tampa got another catcher) Here is the EqA formula. It is a poor mans OPS <g>: H + TB + 1.5*(BB + HBP) + SB EqA = ---------------------------- AB + BB + HBP + CS + SB/3
