Sabermetrics FAQ

When I'm looking at someone's range factor (like Pablo Sandoval this year) and I see his RF/g is higher than the league average for third basemen, BUT his RF/9 innings is LOWER than the league average ... what accounts for that? What does that mean? Does that mean because one metric says he's above average and the other below he's exactly average?
Where besides Baseball Prospectus can I find a listing of league leaders in EQA? I love that stat, and I think it's the greatest baseball stat ever, but I don't feel like paying BP for the privilege of looking up something.

Equivalent Average is a stat created by Baseball Prospectus, so you’ll only find it on their site. The EQA page isn’t behind their pay wall, so you can see it for free.
As far as Sandoval, the only thing I can think is that he has perhaps played a ton of innings (I haven’t looked this up) so his RF/9 is relatively lower than his RF/g.
