a bunch of crap geeks get giddy over that means absolutely nothing. imo -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 12:38
It's a complex calculation that supposedly takes every facet of play into account to say how much better than Replacement Level a player is - Will Hunting Jan 5, 12:25 5
- I dislike stats that you can't calculate from sitting there and watching the game. -- nm - Tim Jan 5, 13:20 4
  - I'm not a fan of that, but what really loses me is that you can have different values between groups calculating them. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:27 3
    - I'm pretty sure they fixed that for 2013. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:43
    - It's an analysis stat - of course there's going to be some variance. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:34
    - Right, which is also a failure of the stat. -- nm - Tim Jan 5, 13:33
Wins above replacement. - David Jan 5, 12:24 2
- (and 5 would be a pretty good although not spectacular WAR) -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:32 1
  - It's All-Star level based on the calcs I've seen used. 8+ is MVP'esque but usually anything around 6.5+ gets in that range. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 12:35
