that's not what that means.....
WAR stands for WINS ABOVE REPLACEMENT
replacement player is a set group of numbers meant to represent a crap player called up fro AAA to replace a legit starter.
an average MLB WAR is around 2.0
it is wayyyy too early to put any stock in any stats
metrics are the future, they are what the teams use to build and operate their franchises, you can ignore them, hand wave them or wtvr but it comes off as flat eartherish
