wOBA: Weighted on-base average, a rate version of linear weights scaled to OBP.
braa: Linear weights batting runs above 2009 AL/NL postseason average (not position or park-adjusted). So far in 2009 the AL averages are .238/.315/.394 and .322 wOBA. This is calculated as player wOBA minus league wOBA divided by 1.15 (which gets us to the difference in run values per plate appearance between player and league) then multipled by # of PAs.

You know what'd be tight? If our number three hitter hit better than our backup catcher going forward.

Anyway, while our natural tendency is to focus on the people who are doing poorly, like Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano, having the top three offensive players (Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada) in the AL postseason has been a nice thing.

Here are the team totals for offense.

Are we still allowed to complain about the offense if they've been better than anyone else in the AL? I say yes... I forgot to do the team pitching in yesterday's post, so here it is.

fip: Fielding independent pitching. Regresses batting average on balls in play to average by focusing on HRs, BBs and Ks by a pitcher.
rsaa: Runs saved above average, calculated as lg RA (in the postseason) minus pitcher RA divided by nine times IP by the specific pitcher.

Yay Yankee starters.
