Wins above replacement.

A baseline player is worth no wins. A player with negative war costs their team games when they play. A player with a war of 5 is presumed to make the team 5 games better during a full season than an average player would.

- 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
