- The fact it can't be calculated easily and consistently is it's biggest drawback. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 3, 11:13 5
  - I don't want to do my own calculations. I just want to know when someone says X is two wins better than Y, that I have an idea where that came from -- nm - crash davis Apr 3, 11:17 4
    - I'm not worried about doing it myself (now), but if one guy is worth 4.8 WAR and 5.7 WAR on two scales, that's an issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 3, 11:18 3
