You mean marginal utility. Your VORP comment makes little sense.

VORP is a measure of marginal utility.

You are right. Lemme clarify on what I meant. The replacement level isn't the same as what VORP would be. Like in a 5 team league. Replacement level would be ~5-7th best person at the position (depending on who's getting hoarded, fanboyism etc). So you'd wanna see the biggest jump in VORP more than the VORP itself. Example with random numbers:

Utley 100
Cano 50
Weeks 40

Pujols 200
Ortiz 190
Random 170

Whoever takes Utley will win regardless of the other position.

I guess I phrased my original response poorly in that he wasn't wrong, but hitting up BP and looking for the highest VORPs wouldn't be correct since significant adjustments need to occur.
