How does a player get WAR points ?

After going 2 for 2 last night, he was taken out of the game for an alleged groin strain, but I suspect he just wanted to keep his WAR up.

Your comment reminded me of Jose Reyes a few years ago. Left the game early to preserve his "batting title". Never sat well with me. Especially knowing the story of Teddy Ballgame hitting 0.400 and then playing a double header and going 6 for 8 to hit 0.406. Now THAT was a hitter.

He may miss a month and still be leading the league in WAR even after playing only 10 or so games. Yeah that was a chicken move by Reyes. Sitting out wouldn't have even crossed Williams' mind, not who he was.

Trout's WAR is now higher, per ESPN, than when he went down with his latest injury. Uh, OK.
