I belong to SABR but I believe in Runs Scored and RBI's. You win games by outscoring the other team. When you score more runs and knock more in then you win.
WAR ? I still don't understand it. Why would an outfielder who is only involved in a few plays a game be more valuable than a first baseman who scoops out of the dirt throws from 3b,ss, 2b on a daily basis and saves many errors, many bases and tons of runs during the season. First baseman save a lot of runs.

Maybe the name of this thread should be changed to note the lack of conversation about the new signing by the Angels...

My point is that you can sign guys like Carl Crawford, Prince Fielder, Ryan Howard, Pablo Sandoval those are disasters. Yes hitting behind Mike Trout is a perfect place in the lineup but driving in 100 runs isn't easy and at 37 he's still doing it. Shame on the Angels for the contract but those aren't bad numbers for guys his age in a testing era.

RBIs have a lot to do with how many guys are on base when you come to the plate. Bat Pujlos behind an average hitter, not Trout, and his totals drop way off. Conversely, put guys with much lower RBI totals behind Trout, and theirs go to 100.

So...what was Ohtani’s WAR with the Ham Fighters?
And how does that compare to MLB?
Or is there even an attempt to WAR the overseas ballplayers? Apples to apples would be noice. Take a look at this; food for thought. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-...-shohei-otani/
