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.
I'm not discrediting it, I'm trying to understand what goes into it and how the final number is come to.
I could make a top ten list and put arbitrary numbers on something, and if people think the players on the list are worthy, then I can call it "WLR" for waterlink ratings and apply it to every other player.
I need transparency. I'm just asking how these numbers are calculated, I want it broken down so I can understand. I'm not going like the other guy and saying it's a shite stat, I'm honestly interested in understanding what it is because I can't blindly believe something.

Type in WAR on wiki. They have diagrams for the different ways. It really is cool looking at all the different Stat companies that measure it differently. Most are still relatively close to the same.

I feel the same. Don't discredit it because it's widely accepted now. Just don't grasp it and haven't really studied it.
I play fantasy baseball and it doesn't help there necessarily. Normal counting stats do.
Following baseball I just watch the games and keep up. The best teams will be in the playoffs then I pay attention more. WAR doesn't really matter much to me in that respect. Trout is the greatest player currently playing by everyone's account and WAR says so as well. However, it's primarily a singular stat to compare single players. Trout has won nothing so his WAR isn't really translating to the part of baseball that truly matters, winning.
