Recapping what has already been discussed: As a DH Ohtani has an OFFENSIVE WAR is 2.7. Andujar has an OFFENSIVE WAR of 4.6.
Unless I am mistaken, a 4.6 OFFENSIVE WAR is greater than a 2.7 Offensive WAR.
If you insist upon using WAR to compare these two players, use the one measurement that is comparable for both players, offensive WAR.
They are both good players...one had a great season with minimal hype, the other had great hype and a pretty decent season. If hype is enough to win a subjective award, then great.
Again, the bias is obvious....a Yankee in 2016 had a similar partial season to Ohtani in 2018 yet loses the award to an 11-7 pitcher.
In another day or two nobody will even care.
