I hate to do this to you 53defense but here is a detailed explanation of WRC and WRC+

wRC and wRC+

Weighted Runs Created (wRC) is an improved version of Bill James’ Runs Created (RC) statistic, which attempted to quantify a player’s total offensive value and measure it by runs. In Runs Created…

If you understand WRC (weighted runs created) then WRC+ merely takes into account the effect the field/league has on the WRC results. For example someone hitting in Coors field will have a much higher WRC than someone at San Diego. WRC+ takes that into account.

Since it takes into account field location, I don't think its that useful for fantasy drafts. Fantasy leagues don't care where the game is played, they just care about positive stats generated.

Alright.... You got me excited about MLB.
Digging out spreadsheets and notes now. Lots to do to prepare for the season.

Slowly getting into the data-crunching mindset....
