gunnarthor Old-Timey Member Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I readily admit I'm not great at figuring out WAR so can someone explain this to me. Morneau has a 119 OPS+ and 1 bWAR to Adrian Gonzalez 117 OPS+ and 2.5 bWAR. Gonzalez has played in 20 more games and is considered a better defensive player but, even taking defense out, seems to have a much bigger WAE lead. Gonzalez plays in a hitters park so he does have a bunch of doubles, even though Morneau has more homers. Does WAR not take ball parks into account?
DPJ Provisional Member Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I'm pretty sure WAR takes ballparks, league hitting as a whole and other various factors into it's equation.
gunnarthor Old-Timey Member Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 Never mind, I think it's all defensive value now that I look at the oWAR and dWAR lines.
