WAR question

Recommended Posts

I want to start a war on WAR. It seems to be the only stat some people use nowadays and they use it as the be all end all of determining if a player is good or not. 
 

I want my RBI baseball for NES days back where they used Avg, Hr, RBI for position and W-L ERA for pitchers!

 

Mark McGwire had some sweet stats in RBI...

Well, despite its flaws, WAR is the best catchall stat available so should be a part of the conversation. But yeah, it has its limitations. One area I find it particularly worthless is for DHs and bat-first players who you don't really look to for defense or baserunning. WAR can give a more negative picture of such players than they deserve.

The defensive component and the pitching end of it -- both leave a lot to be desired.   But yeah, it's the best of whats out there as far as catchall's go.
