WAR is the wins added by a player over what a replacement level player (readily available/AAAA player) would contribute.
It's so funny when people are selective about when they want to use WAR. Sure, we'll use it when it validates that Mike Trout is one of the greatest players of all time. But when it says that another rookie is better than my phenom???

NAH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS LOL!!!!!

Yeah, Bryant has been having a better year offensively. Slightly better OPS+ and wRC

but Duffy has been the better overall player this season.

Nice copy and paste job! Knew you didn't know what it meant.

.....show me where i copied and pasted that from. It doesn't take a genius to understate what WAR indicates. Nice rebuttal to my argument though.

lol i really can't believe that's all you had to say to that. I typed that out. I didn't look it up. I didn't copy paste it. Too hard for you to comprehend?

You might has well of copied the whole thing

Still doesn't prove you know what it actually means.

You really don't have an argument besides that.

We have an obvious love for our home teams. Bryant is clear NL ROY.

So me understanding that replacement level players = AAAA players means I copied and pasted it. Wow.
You must think any time that anyone states a fact, they're copying it directly from somewhere. What a hard life.

Yes, we're both biased towards our home teams. Bryant is not clear NL ROY.

.308 avg, .345 obp, .460 slg, 57 r, 38 xtra base hits, 10 hr, 59 rbi, 6-6 sb, 20 bb, 73 k-------- Duffy
.262 avg, .367 obp, .476 slg, 69 r, 45 xtra base hits, 19 hr, 74 rbi, 12-15 sb, 63 bb, 148 k--- Bryant

They are both about the same production wise.
It's clear that Bryant is swinging for the fences all the time.
After seeing both relatively recent, I think Bryant has a higher ceiling, but Duffy is more of a team player.
