What I said about OOTP WAR is because the game uses a simplified WAR calculation and some of the stats that make up WAR are not produced in a genuine way in the game engine. Thus, it is a little dangerous to assume that all the traits and correlations that WAR has in real life apply to the game in the same way.

For example, real-life WAR is supposed to add up to 590 for batters and 410 for pitchers (I hope Uruguru is reading this). Does this happen in OOTP?
A quick sim in a 30 team, 162 game season, I got 658.3 total WAR for batters and 464.2 total WAR for pitchers
