Reviewing raygu's Top 25 NL-Only Players, I noticed OF Alfonso Soriano listed ahead of Matt Kemp. I am toying with the idea that Kemp is the better value.
To buttress the burgeoning valuation, I went to PECOTA to see what it offers for both four- or five-category outfielders:
| PLAYER | AGE | HR | RBI | R | SB | AVG | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soriano | 33 | 38 | 119 | 103 | 25 | 0.281 | |
| Kemp | 24 | 20 | 80 | 89 | 27 | 0.293 | |
Yeah, that didn't work. So I went to Ron Shandler's Fantasy Forecaster:
| PLAYER | AGE | HR | RBI | R | SB | AVG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soriano | 33 | 34 | 82 | 92 | 24 | .284 |
| Kemp | 24 | 21 | 87 | 95 | 30 | .283 |
