The value of a double play vs only getting one of the outs is an extra 0.23 runs saved. So to gain 10 runs on double plays you need to make 43 more double plays than average. We think the double play is worth more, but that is all that it adds over getting the out at 2B and not completing the play, but if you miss 100 grounders at your position you are going to lose 70 runs on defense.
