What exactly goes into WAR? I've tried looking it up before but I can never find a conclusive way they come up with these numbers. And because of that I have a hard time buying into it

when you want to discredit a stat, go look at the all time leaders of said stat. If you see too many people who don't belong, then start looking at the formula.

Babe Ruth? Cy Young? I guess I am missing what you are trying to say. WAR has it’s flaws but it is a great measurement to compare guys like Trout and a player that has already retired. If their was a stat like it for Basketball/Football everyone and their mother would use the stat to compare Jordan/Lebron etc. Most of the people that don’t recognize WAR don’t care to look into the many different ways it is calculated.

At least they've tried it just hasn't worked... Pujols, Hamilton, Upton, Simmons, CJ Wilson, Latos, Street, and Weaver....

It doesn’t fit the anti WAR narrative. They don’t understand it so they don’t like it

There's at least one underlying joke in this thread you're not getting.
