No. One WAR is not equal to another WAR. It’s subjective. These sabremetric things are all subjective. So they’re made up by people. People looking to make a case. They’re like scouting reports based upon not actually watching a guy play. That makes them a poor tool. The fact that many —- not all —— front offices follow that doesn’t make them right to do so.
It sure makes exec and agents jobs easy though. I’ll give you that. It also makes being a modern day baseball writer the biggest con job since meteorologists.
Just like I say player x is a 4power with upside 5, it’s subjective. Go ahead and pretend it’s not. Knock yourself out. You’re ruining the game.
I think it’s funny that I asked you to tell me WHY Joe Mauer is the 7th best catcher of all time and instead of answering in terms of Baseball, you cite made up sabremetric garbage to me.
