Using OFIP, An experimental stat to help you draft by.

     Using FIP (a pitcher stat that removes the defense from either boosting for lowering a pitchers ERA), I adapted a stat called OFIP.  Whether it is an official stat or not, I do not know.  It measures both strength and batters eye.  An example of what you might think is: Chris Davis is probably pretty high on the list of 1B.  You would be wrong.  Strikes out entirely to much.  This stat will not help with SB however, so that you have to find on your own.  Most of these hitters have a 260+ batting average.  I spent hours noting down numbers out of a rotowire magazine into this list.  It is not the end all be all.  If you can get Mike Trout, go for it.  These are people that are solid batters who will be there most of the draft. Happy hunting everyone.
