A-Rod's too far ahead of anyone else for it to make a difference. The sad thing is Ortiz may actually win it, if the Yanks don't make the playoffs.

There have to be a dozen players with better "stats" than him. How much do you think his "clutch performance" is worth? Even if you don't believe in clutch hitters, that doesn't mean clutch performances aren't valuable.

I have no clue how good Ortiz has been in the clutch. Anyone have a win expectation added stat out there for hitters?

what about:

Clutch
"Clutch" is the name we've given to the portion of Bill James's Runs Created formula that includes the impact of a batter's batting average with runners in scoring position and the number of home runs with runners on. The specific formula is Hits with RISP minus overall BA times at bats with RISP, plus HR with runners on minus (all HR/AB) times at bats with runners on. This stat is not a definitive description of "clutch hitting," just one way of looking at it.
