In years past (maybe not the previous two) I was able to track performance per player in WAR from year to year and make informed decisions on who to replace and who to keep. Now I don't know which 'version' of a player to trust.
Last 4 seasons of my Utley in Silver: 4.5, 1.6, 4.4 and 1.3 WAR (so far this year.) Jackie Robinson: 4.0, 2.1, 4.2, 1.1 (!). Helton: 2.5, 0.4, 1.3, 2.0.
Jackson Jobe: 5.1, 3.8, 5.7, 2.3. Maddux: 4.8, 4.3, 3.5, 2.5.
There was variance, but I don't think to the extent I have been reporting in this thread (although I have not analyzed how much this is impacting other users, so it might be a fluke on my end.)
