    This post is so inaccurate and absurd that you must be trolling.

    What makes a player valuable is subject to personal opinion which exactly why this is a discussion.

    For example:
    5 different RFers had at least 5.0 fWAR.
    The #2 C had 4.7 fWAR.

    The rarity of Cal's production and how hard it is to replace him is one reason why Cal could be more valuable than Judge.

    It's unfair to say your opinion is the only right one and any other OPINION is FACTUALLY wrong.

    The war leader should be the mvp every season without exception, there’s no reason at this point to even have a vote. It’s similar to balls and strikes, there’s no reason to have a human decide something subjectively when we know the correct answer.

    WAR is generated by statistics which are weighted based on position.

    You arectalking about the most outdtanding player, not necessarily the mist valuable.

    There is more than just statistics that determine value.

    The human element is what sets baseball atop of the cretin sports like football and basketball.

    It’s getting better though. We have some replay now, we’ll have some ability to fix balls and strikes calls, so things are improving. Of course it’s sad 13/30 people who should know better did what they did but hey, it means 17/30 had it right. Glass half full!

    Why don't you algorithmarize the HOF voting while you're at it?

    You're not in charge of the awards voting either, but that doesn't seem to be stopping you :)

    Saw that the other day. I honestly had no idea about any of it. I always thought it quite peculiar that he hit 35 hr’s and then never played again.
