That’s from baseball reference. It’s their ranking.

I think a couple of things work against Griffey in the metrics, his huge seasons were ones where quite a few guys also had huge seasons, thus only one MVP. Also after his first year in the NL his numbers were markedly lower than they had been.

I think he’s using JAWS here.

Griffey is slightly ahead of Trout in total WAR still, though WAR really is designed around the current game.

I think it was designed around Trout. Seriously. Or at the very least his game was suited to maximize his WAR.

They play to WAR now, and WAR was built for the very modern way of play. I don’t think it’s all that great at cross era comparison or the old guys as a result. Trout and a lot of others are rated higher by WAR than is probably warranted. Trout’s WAR rate makes him, as I recall, #2 behind only Ruth, which seems a little more than his figures warrant.

The ranking is based on JAWS and is a position by position ranking system.

Ruth is ranked number 1 in WAR all time. Number two is Walter Johnson and number three is Cy Young.

I said WAR rate, not total WAR.
