WAR does have a base line of 0. And the VALUE of WAR is based on that baseline of 0 being the league average.

You know what also has a baseline? The value of batting average. That baseline is .300. Which, if you want to argue that WAR's baseline is subjective, it would also mean that batting average is as well.

You can't know the value of anything without a baseline. Wins might be 20, or 15 if you're kind. Batting average is .300, or league average if you want to dip your toes into a bit more in depth look at someone's skill value. WAR is 0 which is league average.

All baselines so everyone here can argue whether or not someone is below average or above.
