They play to WAR now, and WAR was built for the very modern way of play. I don’t think it’s all that great at cross era comparison or the old guys as a result. Trout and a lot of others are rated higher by WAR than is probably warranted. Trout’s WAR rate makes him, as I recall, #2 behind only Ruth, which seems a little more than his figures warrant.
