Valid critiques! I really wish that OOTP would make their methods of calculating their various WARs, park factors and other stats less opaque- including what the linear weights are for offensive events, which would in turn feed into wOBA and offensive WAR. And for pitchers, it would be great if the game had a "home-grown" WAR calculation that incorporated the effects of BABIP. One potential way to do this (not perfect by any means) would be to use base it on "pitcher wOBA allowed" vs league average (corrected with appropriate park factors), then applying the dynamic runs-per-win calculation. For the linear weights, you'd probably want to use a catch-all weight for all non-HR hits, as (to my knowledge) an OOTP pitcher has no control over what type of hit he allows, if it's not a home run.
