  "So what does Aaron do? He simply divides the number by 4. Does that give you a better scale?
.....Anyway, then I simply ran a regression of Aaron's number against my number. The r was 0.999, which is about as close to perfect as you can get."

Tango OPS correlates .999 to the Linear Weights rate stat whether you divide by 4 or not. Multiplying by a constant or adding a constant have no effect on r.

What about correlating it to something based on BaseRuns, wouldn't that be better than linear weights?
