Wins Above Replacement? I'm glad you asked.

Sandy Koufax:
Career -- 49.0
7-year peak -- 45.2

Wes Ferrell:
Career -- 61.6
7-year peak -- 53.2

P.S. I agree that Parisian Bob is conspicuous in his absence.

Glenn - I outta beat you with a (nerf) fungo bat for comparing Wes Ferrell to Sandy Koufax... shows how flawed even Sabremetrics like WAR can be.

Maybe someone can explain Koufax's WAR 7 being so low despite his incredible streak of 6 seasons. He is essentially tied with WILBUR WOOD and ranked below Silver King, Stan Coveleski, Jack Stivetts, Dazzy Vance, Vic Willis, and Joe McGinnity, to name a few.

Not sure if home/road spits have anything to do with it. He was a slightly above average pitcher on the road. He was insane at home. Creature of Dodger Stadium.
