Leaderboards of Pleasure – 9/6/11
And the crowd goes less indifferent.
Hello, America, and welcome to another heart-pounding installment of Leaderboards of Pleasure.
In this edition of the L to the O to the P, prepare to learn that:
• Torontonian Brett Lawrie is, scientifically speaking, the most entertaining player in all of baseball.
• Atlantan Jose Constanza is, scientifically speaking, pretty close to the most entertaining player in all of baseball.
• The term scientifically speaking is easy to abuse.

Team NERD Leaderboard
Like the NERD scores you’ll find below, this one represents an attempt to anticipate the “watchability” of each team. The first iteration appears in a heartfelt love letter to America, which anyone is free to read here.
Please note that the “POFF” numbers (playoff-odds adjustments) are not included in the Team NERD scores you see below, but are instead the bonuses/penalties applied to the Game Scores for each respective team — a thing about which you can learn more by reading here.

Underrated Player Leaderboard
To determine the most underrated player, we look at each qualified player’s WAR relative to a very fake version of WAR (called FANT, in this case) constructed only by the five most common fantasy categories. (Read more here.)

Pitcher NERD Leaderboard
The idea with Pitcher NERD — as with the other NERDs — is to express with one number the likelihood that the learned fan might have interest in a certain player. This version of NERD considers all pitchers with at least 20 innings as a starter. (To read more about Pitcher NERD, click here.)
