I don't have an understanding of it, enlighten me why those 3 outlets, especially B-Ref and Fangraphs can carry such WILDLY different WAR numbers and fans really give a crap about the number being weighted so heavily in judging a characters production? Literally the value of a player has been utterly debased to WAR and it's a subjective formula (judging on Jorge Polanco amongst aforementioned Xander and many, many others) and also hyper sensitive to the talent existing in the AAAA of rejects.
It must not have come across the way I'd intended in my message, but I was agreeing with you.
