I really enjoy the vitriol a subset of fans have for WAR.
It makes me nostalgic for the vitriol a similar subset of fans had for OBP 20 years ago.
The more things change, the more they stay the same!
Granted, both then and now, there were some fans who think/thought WAR/OBP were the ONLY stat of value, although I'd wager that the number of straw-men who "thought" this were far higher than the number of fans who ACTUALLY thought that.
The way I look at it, if I look at the list of the top 100 players in career WAR, it's as good a list of the top 100 players in history as any. A few arguments here or there, but the vast majority pretty much jive with any other reasonable list.
