It's been about six weeks since we last took a gander at the hidden points league gems to be found using the handy-dandy "shortcut stat" known as RC/27. As a reminder, RC/27 is "runs created per 27 outs" which is derived by taking each player's stats at the plate -- hits, total bases, walks, steals are good; strikeouts are bad -- and running them through a complex mathematical formula to estimate how many runs per game a theoretical lineup with nine clones of that same player would be expected to produce.
While it is by no means a perfect one-to-one comparison, RC/27 has always been a fairly good indicator of points league value, packaged into one easy-to-digest number. And, in honor of the series finale of "Orphan Black," which aired last night, I thought it was only fitting to once again take a look at some of the players who are far exceeding their place on the ESPN Player Rater, as judged by RC/27.
