Does anybody know an easy way at BP to sort Team Starters Vorp?  I did it all manually, took me 2 days :D

I copied/pasted all pitchers with at least one GS into a spread sheet.  Then made a cell for each team to calc average, then manually picked out the Team Averages into another page in the spreadsheet...

BOS    182.9
SFN    168.6
CLE    164.6
TOR    163.5
CHN    160.3
SDN    158
ARI    152.2
ANA    147.7
OAK    147.6
MIN    143.6
COL    135.7
MIL    134.9
LAN    129.3
CHA    124.9
DET    118.1
ATL    114.6
NYN    114.2
KCA    103.9
PHI    102.1
NYA    101.5
HOU    98.8
BAL    84.2
PIT    81.5
CIN    80.7
WAS    48.9
SLN    46.6
SEA    44.3
TBA    32.5
TEX    19.3
FLO    -60.3

This is a "quick" way to see where we can shop looper.  

By doing some guerrilla math I came up with vorps for the number of starter. (I'm trying to refine it, but this eyeballed looks pretty good)

#1 Ave Vorp
48.82068966

#2 Ave Vorp
31.99333333

#3 Ave Vorp
20.05

#4 Ave Vorp
9.923333333

#5 Ave Vorp
3.193333333

Loop-a-doop was at 14.8 which is a 3.5 starter.  You can shop him to a team that has no #3 or even the horrid teams on the bottom that have no #2.  Maybe ship him to a good pitching team that has a weak #4-5.  

Here are the Team Aces (Vorp leaders on each team)

1    Jake Peavy    SDN    77
2    Brandon Webb    ARI    66.1
3    C.c. Sabathia    CLE    65.2
5    Brad Penny    LAN    61.7
6    John Lackey    ANA    60.7
7    Roy Oswalt    HOU    59.8
8    Tim Hudson    ATL    59.7
9    Josh Beckett    BOS    58.6
10    Johan Santana    MIN    57.7
12    Dan Haren    OAK    56.4
13    Erik Bedard    BAL    54.9
14    Aaron Harang    CIN    53.8
15    Javier Vazquez    CHA    51.1
16    Roy Halladay    TOR    50.6
19    Cole Hamels    PHI    48.8
20    Chien-ming Wang    NYA    48.5
21    Matt Cain    SFN    47.6
22    Scott Kazmir    TBA    47.2
23    Gil Meche    KCA    47.1
24    Ted Lilly    CHN    46.7
26    Justin Verlander    DET    45.9
30    Ian Snell    PIT    42.8
31    Jeff Francis    COL    42.7
35    Adam Wainwright    SLN    39.8
40    Felix Hernandez    SEA    36.4
46    John Maine    NYN    33.3
48    Ben Sheets    MIL    31.4
76    Shawn Hill    WAS    20.8
108    Sergio Mitre    FLO    7.9
113    Brandon MccarthyTEX    6.5

As you see, a team ace should be close to the top 30 pitchers, but WAS, FLO and TEX are in dire need of an ace, Looper was better than FLO and TEX's aces this year.  

This is pure raw performance from 2007 from start to finish.  This does not take into consideration injuries, etc.  Based on this list we can see where looper would fit, then see if that team is addressing the need for the spot he will replace via some other option (hot shot rookie, healthy player that was injured, etc)
