Once again, people think that WAR is some statistic that was just made up out of thin air, without actually researching what it is.

I'm sorry that you will not open your mind up to something more advanced than 50 years ago, and are just resorting to irrelevant sarcasm to try to make your point.

The old stats measure one thing. HRs measure how many HRs were hit. RBIs measure RBIs. As soon as these statistics are broken down, valued and/or combined (WAR), they are just written off as some nerd in a basement making stuff up.

Again, I'm truly sorry that you will not even give it a chance, considering that advanced stats are simply the old-school stats put in perspective.

It's not rocket science or a fairy tale, so I'm not sure why people treat it that way.
