Team GPAs - Guess Who is First?

I haven’t been keeping track of GPA stats of late for teams, but here we are:

GPA (Gross Productive Average): (1.8 * .OBP + .SLG) / 4 = .GPA
1. Philadelphia: .268
2. Colorado: .265
3. San Francisco: .264
4. St. Louis: .263
5. Chicago: .262
6. Houston: .260
7. Cincinnati: .258
8. Los Angeles: .254
9. Florida: .250
10. Pittsburgh: .249
11. Milwaukee: .249
12. Atlanta: .248
13. Arizona: .246
14. San Diego: .246
15. New York: .244
16. Montreal: .227

I’m not so much surprised to see the Phils in first place so much as I am stunned to see Colorado out of it: I’m sure there is a Citizens factor there, and there is an Expos factor as well, but that is still very impressive: the Phils have the NL’s best offense or, at the very least, the most efficient one.

This is an impressive achievement, largely the product of Thome and Abreu’s terrific work this season.

I would note also that the Phils division-mates have the ninth, twelfth, fifteenth and sixteen best offenses in the NL. The Phils pitching staff needs to shut these guys down. They can do it.

Good comments. But, I do not agree with most of them. People sure have a lot of time on their hands.
