Still, good to see, even if he's got a weird career arc even discounting my musings.
Edit: And for a second there I thought that was Oren Gep there with the best WAR in the SCA, right up until the last name on the list. Don't think I've ever mentioned it but I'm someone who tunnel-visions on WAR as a metric  |
Danse is not having a bad year, so he is All Star worthy, and statistically looks to be the best overall hitting LF. However, there is someone missing who arguably is having a better overall year: Joe "Whiskey" Hagen (.304/12/39/2.2 WAR) of Warwick. Hagen should be on the roster over Cornseed, for sure.
WAR is a nice easy stat to focus in on because it seems to give a complete picture. I value it more for hitters than pitchers. I don't know how OOTP calculates its WAR exactly because pitcher WARs are non-logical. A pitcher with a 7-5, 4.32 ERA can have a better WAR than a pitcher with a 10-1, 2.56 ERA, and I just do not see how that could ever be possible.
Case in point, the current SCA WAR leader is Bow Rome (8-6, 4.38) with a 4.2. The wins leader, Chris Deathclaw (11-5, 2.83), has a 1.8 WAR.
