Pretty nice start to season
You're old fashioned
WAR agrees that Yelich has been the better hitter this year, even with the position adjustment. According to baseball ref, Yelich worth 2.1 and DeJong 1.8 on hitting alone. DeJong's 167 OPS+ year to date pretty impressive for a middle infielder, but Yelich has a 223 OPS+ The difference is defense --DeJong 0.6 WAR and Yelich 0.0. Of course WAR doesn't predict future performance. Yelich is still almost certain to end up with a higher WAR for the year than DeJong.

+1 and however many zero's you want to add.
I look at the basic stats and percentages, but in no way is DeJong more valuable than Yelich. This shouldn't even be a discussion. However someone will keep spinning the stats to try and show otherwise.

oh hey trout just woke up and put on his pants today, that adds another .02 to his war total. trout has tied or ahead of bellinger and yelich "unbelievable" years. trout's also on pace for his best war year if he doesn't get injured.

WAR...what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, except starting an argument in a sports bar.

My favorite example of a player who has benefited from WAR is Edgar Martinez.
His total WAR is 68.4 which includes 2247 hits, 309 hr, 1261 rbi. Eddie Murray is 68.7 which includes 3255 hits, 504 hr and 1917 rbi. War stats include defense - which Edgar has none and Eddie has multiple gold gloves. I couldn’t begin to explain the calculations involved. |
