wOBA and BaseRuns

This article does a good job in showing that linear methods (like wOBA and its inspiration of Linear Weights) can't be used for Teams.  wOBA-squared does a much better job.

In any case, the answer is BaseRuns.  For teams (and pitchers) use BaseRuns.  For hitters, use wOBA.  For hitters in a particular environment, use the "Theoretical Team" construction and a "with or without you" process (google Patriot and that term, and you'll get what you need).?
