I have a problem measuring a player's value relative to his backup.

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Jul 9 '13, 06:17

I don't care about his backup.
I care about his value relative to his peer group.

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
