If I calculate the neutralized stats for Edwin Encarnacion, I don't get what they get for  2012 or 2015.  I went back and checked Johnny Bench in 1980 and 1973 to make sure it was correct.  What am I doing wrong?

For whatever reason, the part where I explained looking and neutralizing on baseball reference did not post.  I used the current year, league and team of both players.  Bench was perfect, Encarnacion was off.

Came out perfectly for me:

Name	AVG	OBP	SLG
EE 2012	.280	.384	.557
2012 AL	.255	.320	.411
Norm	1.10	1.20	1.36
EE 2015	.277	.372	.557
2015 AL	.255	.318	.412
Norm	1.08	1.17	1.35

They have his normalized average in 2015 as 109 instead of 108...but I assume that's just a rounding error somewhere.  Everything else is spot on.

The definition of an idiot is a stupid person. I'm sure you're not an idiot, you're probably just confused about something. I hope this helps to clear it up.

I get the above.  How do you get AVG# to be .284?   Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I get AVG#_2012/OBP#_2012/SLG#_2012=.290/.394/.576 on br

instead of .284/.388/.542 on game

difference of 40 OPS

The reason I point out is I scraped the br db to have something to work with in excel and got some major differences.  I am looking to make the db with all general statistics, advanced statistics and fielding statistics from the players card without copy paste.   The one floating around has only hits and hrs so I can't calculate singles/100AB# etc.  If I have the wrong sheet, I would greatly appreciate any insight anyone has into where the db dump is available.  Thanks again for your time.
