I have a problem measuring a player's value relative to his backup. - Strongbad Jul 9, 06:17 10
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:24
- It's not *his* backup, just a generic replacement player. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:18 8
  - Not much better. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:24 7
    - Also, it wouldn't measure what WAR attempts to measure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:25
    - You need a baseline - a peer group baseline would be constantly shifting. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:24 5
      - But a minor leaguer or, backup or, whomever is a poor baseline. - Krusty Jul 9, 06:27 4
        
        If you really want to measure a player's worth, the best way to do it is propose trades. Example... - Jim Jul 9, 06:33 1
        
        that's great for Fantasy GM, but it doesn't neccesarily tell you about what they're doing for you *this* season. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:35
        
        The actual number isn't the important thing if you're comparing everyone to the same line - it's the relative comparison of all players. - Reagen Jul 9, 06:32 1
        
        I see what you're saying. Got it. - Krusty Jul 9, 06:38
