The fourth sabermetric stat he mentions is VORP (Value Over Replacement Player)
Formula: Again, really complicated. Go here for more information.
Goal: Figure out someone’s “value over replacement player” by weighing his ability to create run (for hitters) or create outs (for pitchers) against the worst possible player who conceivably could have played the position (the replacement player, defined as someone who’s 75-85 percent as good as the most average player in the league depending on position.).
Flaw: Doesn’t incorporate defense.
