Productive Outs Definition

Yesterday I started discussing productive outs. I'm starting to look at data, and the definition they published yesterday isn't quite accurate. It appears they do not count double plays that advance runners as productive outs, at least in the case where a there are men on first and second and the DP advances a runner to third. Since they don't have data for other years, I don't know if a DP that scores a runner is counted as a productive out. I'm going to assume no for the rest of my study.
