It's not only adjusted by league average each year, but by park factor.
I also think WAR is perhaps the worst idea in the history of sports analysis. It just leads to lazy and wrong-headed analysis. The kind of analysis of simply regurgitating received wisdom without thinking about it that the early sabermetricians hated so much.
Oh, and Hunter had a great year that he had about zero chance of duplicating. I do think people are ignoring the great year Hunter had, so its not like Hamilton adds a lot of production relative to last season, but he's still clearly an upgrade.

Wrong.
Its a great idea.
Its not their fault people want to use it as an end all be all. But people always do that. Frankly if people are gonna do it, Id rather them do it with WAR then BA or RBI's. I assume you were being hyperbolic.

I knew that part, but I was curious to know the standard deviations of OPS+ every year.
