This is semi newbie question that I don't think belongs in the main thread but I've always been curious about.

Has there ever been any effort to modify a stat like OPS+ to reflect the defensive spectrum? From what I understand, some positional adjustment is cooked into WAR formulas but I'm curious about a metric that illustrates how the offensive contributions player compares to the average player at his position. The clear problem I see would be accounting for players who float around the field in utility and 4th OF roles, but I could also be missing something subtle.

I have a question about offensive interference based on a play during game one of the WS. If a runner is already out on a double play, does he have an obligation to duck if the ball is thrown over the basepath?
