But guys, WAR is a ridiculously subjective, and thus, meaningless stat. In fact It's so subjective that no one can agree on exactly how to calculate it. I also have a lot of trouble with a state being based on some phantom "replacement player."
And here's proof. If you look at two starters with a 2.67 ERA and one goes 23 - 5 and the other goes 11 - 11 - both for teams that finished first in their division, it's clear who the more valuable pitcher is.
