If this is true Tango, then fine, it counts what it wants to count. But in scanning the fanhome thread and previous threads, I see an awful lot of talk about value in relation to AWP. And you can't have it both ways.
If it is meant to be a stat like RBI then sure, I also think it is well constructed. It adds extra information. I'm very impressed with the way David is able to explain himself and I think he has some real orginal insights within the method. But as soon as you start to talk about it as total value stat, which seems to me to be the case, it does become a "what would have happened" perspective. Because value is relative, and what it is relative to is "what would have happened". And in this case I think the points I've brought up need to be addressed. Unless you think there is a flaw in my reasoning of course, and in that case I'd appreciate knowing what they are.
