The fifth sabermetric stat he mentions is WAR (Wins Above Replacement)
Formula: Once again, really complicated. Go here for more information.
Goal: Take VORP to the next level by incorporating defense, then figure out exactly how many wins someone is worth (his WAR value).
Flaws: Assumes talent between the leagues is always equal. Also, WAR doesn’t work nearly as well for pitchers.
