Carew - 81.3, and in just 2/3 as many plate appearances as Rose.
Seaver vs Ryan and Carew vs Rose aren't even close. And Johnny Bench's WAR numbers match his reputation and are top of the line too per PA, especially as a catcher. I'm surprised his cards have never commanded much price or attention.
But Rose and Ryan did shiny things compared to the others.
