Philadelphia Phillies Productivity Ratings

A productivity rating is a measure of the number of bases a player is able to generate for himself, whenever it is within his power to do so. That sounds a bit abstract. In concrete terms, it is a measure of how many bases does the player earn per trip to the plate, including stolen bases, walks (intentional or otherwise), etc. A good rating is 0.5, meaning that the player earns 1/2 base per trip to the plate. So in a game where the player comes to the plate four times, the player will typically earn a trip to second base or will earn a trip to first base twice. Notice that this does not mean that he will not score in an average game. If the next player up to bat averages 0.5, and so forth, then if the players both double, the first player will score a run.
