Calculation of WAR

bwburke94 · 01-27-2015, 12:58 PM

I've seen several complaints that the replacement level is a bit "off" in OOTP, so I'm wondering whether OOTP16 will use a replacement level closer to the FanGraphs/Baseball-Reference definition?

I am in the process of moving towards the fangraphs war definitions, which if I do things right should hopefully have a better minimum value. Won't adjust the defense portion as we have no UZR, so hopefully it will still line up to the right numbers.

What about catchers? Will this correct that particular issue, where catchers had their WAR almost halved or worse?
