Great post on Twitter:
@FutureGM: Torii Hunter 2012 rWar: 5.5. Josh Hamilton 2012 rWAR: 3.4. The Angels are about to get almost half the production at almost double the cost.

The Angels outfield had no depth, while Hamilton was replaced with David Murphy or Craig Gentry most of the time when he was out. Kind of a dumb stat there

I don't think anyone would pick tori hunter over Hamilton. I don't care what his war is.
What was Hunter's WAR the previous years? (2.7 in 2010, 3.4 in 2011) Ill save you the trouble, last year was the highest of his career. He had a resurgent year and will play 2013 at age 37. You can't expect duplicate numbers. Lets also keep in mind he played RF all last year, while Hamilton went b/t CF and LF.
Not to mention he is 5 years older. Of course someone is going to pay Hamilton more. And if Hamilton doesn't have to play CF which he wouldn't have to in LAA, better for him.

Terrible post on twitter. Torri Hunter had a career year with an OPS+ of 132....at age 36. I HIGHLY doubt he is going to reproduce those numbers.
eta: I also hate total WAR because I have little faith in defensive metrics as of right now. If you compare their oWAR its 4.0 for Hunter and 4.4 for JHAM
