At least I think they should be.
And the "clutchiest" player from 1957-2007 according to their calculations was this guy.
But he only hit .239/.320/.292 in "late and close"!
Did they look at RBI/RBI Opps? Cause he looks pretty average in that regard too.
But the data isn't all that interesting to Cramer and Palmer because they don't believe clutch hitting exists.
Simple linear weights (Palmer, via bb-ref): -10.3 Context-neutral WPA (WPA/LI, http://tinyurl.com/6hmoym): -6.96 Run-expectancy wins (base-out linear weights): -2.05 WPA: 1.58
So it can be argued that he was 12 wins better than his simple lwts would suggest, or one win per 500 PA.
