Although...I do understand what you're trying to say.
I think the 2 posts I've sort of pointed out that WAR is a formula have been rather enlightening for me on how it is drastically different from most baseball statistics.
There may be an inherent problem with it, I don't know.
As much as I can appreciate what you said about the way in which Betts' WAR was adjusted, I noted something like that when the statistic was introduced AND BECAME WILDLY POPULAR...that's where I had some problems myself ...? Right off the bat. Wasn't something I really put into words but complaining about inconsistent WAR values is one example I guess of why I was disappointed with the way the stat became so popular.
Taking the time, I see what you mean but I'm not going to try and say it isn't a real stat. But it is a sort of rating, a concept, not a number that complements baseball, more like a stat concerning stats.
