Hmmm. This tells me that you do t really know how WAR is calculated. But you know how to copy and paste. It’s ok though MOST people don’t understand the math behind it. But it’s cool.
Trust me, I understand it perfectly well.
"The basic currency of WAR is runs. We start with runs added or lost versus an average player and then compare the average player to a replacement player. I just got done saying we don't want to use averages, but an equation should explain what we are doing here.
Players Runs over Replacement = Player_runs - ReplPlayer_runs = (Player_runs - AvgPlayer_runs) + (AvgPlayer_runs - ReplPlayer_runs)
This gives us two components, player runs above average (RAA) and then the average player's runs above replacement.
Ultimately, baseball teams are interested in wins and losses, and so is WAR. RAA is converted to wins above average by running the results through a PythagenPat win-loss estimator (a rundown of PythagenPat). This allows us to more accurately model the interaction between the player and league and the effect on wins. Generally, ten runs will give you one win, but that does not always hold.
Adding up all of the WAR on a team (adding in replacement level (48 wins for a full season)), should get you very, very close to the team's actual wins and losses, and should match up even more closely with their Pythagorean win-loss records."
Also,
"WAR for position players has six components:
Batting Runs
Baserunning Runs
Runs added or lost due to Grounding into Double Plays in DP situations
Fielding Runs
Positional Adjustment Runs
Replacement level Runs (based on playing time)
The first five measurements are all compared against league average, so a value of zero will equate to a league average player. Less than zero means worse than average, and greater than zero means better than average. These five correspond to the first half of our equation above (Player_runs - AvgPlayer_runs). The sixth factor is the second half of the equation (AvgPlayer_runs - ReplPlayer_runs)."Meanwhile the formula for wRC+ is the following:
"(((wRAA per PA + league runs per PA) + (league runs per PA - ballpark factor x league runs per PA) / league wRC per plate appearance, not including pitchers)) x 100."
It was you who specifically said that wRC+ is a derivative (that is "something which is based on another source") of WAR. The use of the wRAA (or RAA) stat does not mean that wRC+ is based on WAR.

Imagine a world where copy and paste skills were equivalent to knowledge.
If I copied a nuclear physics formula from a website would I understand nuclear power plants. No, not really. But feel free to copy and paste whatever you would like. It isn’t derailing the thread at all.
Can you also copy and paste why he is 1 of 30 to not be given a SS

Nope and I don't know for sure why they made this call. Clearly they thought that in the grand scheme of things Carter wasn't all that requested or needed.
I'm copy pasting these because it saves me time. I don't have the time or the inclination to rephrase these formulas for your perusal.
Now, if you feel like my point is inaccurate then feel free to point it out.

Glad you admitted you don’t know why he wasn’t included. That was the point

You didn’t make a point about WAR you copied and pasted parts of the formula.

That wasn't my point - you specifically stated that wRC+ is a derivative of WAR

I didn't attempt to make a point about WAR. I simply demonstrated that wRC+ is not a derivative of WAR unlike incorrectly asserted by you.

i do not remember if I picked up his 95 I might have for the last event. When it was over I might of sold it off to get the Cobb SS. I have to go back and check my transaction history.

It’s weird to me why people have such an issue with other people having a different opinion. Nobody is wrong about an opinion. However, regarding statistics i will freely admit part of the problem is the way that I am communicating. I could go Into a very detailed description (NOT copy and paste) of why WAR and wRC are going to always have a strong correlation. But to be honest that would take a long detailed write. based on the copy paste skills used to justify the ubiquitous use of sabermetrics it would either go over the heads of those I am communicating with. Especially, because some of these dudes have never taken a single class in statistics it makes it difficult for them to see beyond something that is new and fresh.
Btw...what is a self glorified troll. If you are going to go out of your way to insult someone have it make sense

Again you felt the need to overstate your own knowledge and resort to insults.
No one has said that wRC+ and WAR don't use some statistics that are the same as a foundation. What I said, specifically, is that wRC+ is not a derivative of WAR. This is a fact. I dare you to prove me wrong.
These two metrics are also differentiated because they both serve a different purpose. More importantly - Joe Carter is average based on both these advanced metrics.

Oh, i am sorry. I thought we were done. Didn’t you get in your last word? Do we need to go back and forth about this. Are you done now. Or do you really want to debate the stats? Before we do I just need to know if you have ever taken a single college math or stats course? Or have you had to use statistical analysis in any professional manner? If not I am not going to bother it would be like explaining lightning to a baboon.
If you have cool make a thread where we can discuss the merits and weakness of various stats. As long as you agree not to copy and paste

Like I said. Let me know if you have EVER taken a stats course in college or like a total of 9 credits in math, research methods, or stats. or used statistical analysis in any professional context. If so...we can private chat if you are worried about being embarrassed or make a thread and others can get involved if you need help.
Otherwise stop trolling because the depth of the conversation is beyond you. And people complain about derailed threads around here.
Hint: the mere fact that those two stats are the entire basis for him being just average in your mind should really speak to you about the validity of the stat

Guys! Stop! Unless you’ve taken college statistics it is impossible for you to understand a stat in regards to sports so just stop! It’s impossible.

.264/.309/.498
.269/.320/.511
Just wanted to go to a point brought up in another thread
That's Joe Carters "great" 1992 season in which he finished 3rd in MVP voting, compared to Eduardo Escobar's 2019 season
I guess the one stats class I took in university really helped me make that comparison...

Yes definitely, he'll hold value to so if you don't like him you'll be able to sell him back without losing, but he's so good.
