Win Values Updated
I’ve made a few improvements to the win values section, so the numbers across the board will all be slightly different.
The main change is a switch to different park factors. We’re now using the exact same methodology as Patriot’s park factors. This will effect the pitching win values more than the hitting win values.
The other change is with the dynamic runs to wins converter in the pitching win values. It’s now weighted properly by innings pitched per game so it’s no longer a straight average of league runs per game and a player’s FIP, converted to wins.

Is there an ETA on defense value for catchers? Maybe I missed it in the many part explanations. It seems like Joe Mauer won’t get his due as the real MVP! until they do. Thanks.
Unfortunately, nothing is in the works for defensive value for catchers. Not that I wouldn’t love to be able to display them, but I personally haven’t looked much into how to do them properly.
