When is this guy going to start resembling the guy that Baseball Prospectus projects at a 19.4 VORP? The bat chucker has hit a grand total of four (4), yes FOUR, extra base hits in 125 at bats. To be fair, this is one more than Johan Santana and Micah Owings. He is slugging a whopping .302. I used a keeper pick on someone with a MINUS 2.9 VORP. Amazingly, he is not the worst Keeper of the season so far (min 50 ab, 20 ip).
VORP
-10.9 Justin Verlander
-9.8 C.C. Sabathia
-8.3 Robinson Cano
-2.9 Delmon Young

Yeah, Verlander. He's killing me. If I'd had any concept that he would be this bad (even if he turns it around from here on), I'd probably have kept Ichiro or Pedroia instead. I could really use Ichiro or Pedroia, too.
What is incredible is the fact that Sabathia has had three spectacular starts in his last four, and his VORP is still at -6.7. God, his start to the season was incredibly brutal.
