It's been 2 weeks since the last update, and we're still kicking ass, so time to check out some stat comparisons.
Here is the link to the last update:

There is an explanation to a lot of this below the chart for those who may not understand this, but are interested.

Things that stand out to me:
Still can't get Cole Gordon out there a little more?
Mangum has been on fire. If you go back and look at older versions of this, the numbers showed he should be, and I would expect to continue to see him perform at a high level. At this point, he seems to be our best hitter.
Luke Alexander is bad and continues to get worse.
Nathaniel Lowe has been improved a lot lately. We need him to keep it up.

What stands out to you?

Since some folks have no idea what these things mean, I will start including a key when I do my updates. If you know what these things mean, you can stop here. I will not define very common stats.
Color highlighting is just to help with visual to highlight the best and worst in each category since sorting isn?t available.
RC (Runs Created) - This is the single best indicator (in my and many others opinion) in determining how valuable a player has been based on what they?ve done this season. Specifically, this stat estimates the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. This is a very complex formula, and is probably the #1 stat used in sabermetrics in some form or another. I use the advanced formula for RC in this breakdown.
(RC/PA)*4 - This is Runs Created divided by Plate Appearances times 4. This turns RC into an average so players can be compared equally regardless of how much they?ve played. It?s divided by 4 to give an estimated view of how many runs they create per game. I came up with this, just for comparisons sake.
OPS - On Base % plus Slugging %
BABIP - Batting average on balls in play. This is another sabermetric stat. This stat measures how many of a batter?s balls in play go for hits, excluding home runs. It is a good tool for measuring the sustainability of a hitter's performance.
TB - Total bases
HBP+BB - Hit by pitch + walks
CS - Caught Stealing
Sac - Sacrifice Hits
GDP - Ground into Double Play
