I've had to get a new set of glasses for all the analytics I do
To be honest, it truly depends on what you consider to be important to the success of your club. I use WAR a lot when all the other standard stats don't reveal what I want them to. In fact, I use WAR a Lot for decision making on borderline players. Also, take a peek at those development reports! See any trends that are alarming? Constant decline in ability is probably not a good start, however if these are stable, you're probably in the beginnings of a slump.
That said, contracts play a HUGE role as well. Do the players have option years, can he be sent to AAA for a tune-up? Is it just a few games that he's underperforming? Great example is my playing this years Dodgers. Cody Bellinger spent the first month batting less that .100 yeowch! I gutted it out (and other players were performing well) and he finally came around when May started and is now batting .285 with 7 dingers and a bushel of RBI's in June.
Part of the game, and management in general is making those gut calls on what you feel is right for the success of your club. Experiment and find your model of success!
