I haven't bought 12 yet, but this is my question about WAR as implemented.

In 11, the VORP calculation seemed to use the highest applicable baseline for a player based on where he had played to that point in the season. For example, I had a minor-league SS play a few innings at 1B in one game due to subs, and he went from a single-digit VORP to double-digit NEGATIVE, and the only reason I could find was because he'd played at 1B, and therefore was being evaluated based on a higher baseline. Instead it should be calculated based on total PA per position (I don't know how PH/PR are handled, but IMO it would be sufficient to use his listed position). Does anyone know if WAR is calculated on a single baseline or multiple ones based on PA/position?
