    By what you believe Joe Morgan is better than Ken Griffey Jr.

    Remember that time you complained that WAR didn't compare players against their era?

    Joe Morgan put up great all-around numbers with tremendous D at a middle infield position for a 15 year peak during a low period for offenses.

    Griffey put up good but not great numbers (considering he was contemporaries w/ McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc) with also excellent D but at a less important position for roughly a 10 year peak (with partial injury-plagued seasons stretching for another 5) during arguably the biggest offensive explosion in MLB history.

    Morgan should be rated higher than Griffey but not unreasonably so. Which means WAR (100.5 vs 83.8) is a pretty accurate stat despite your protestations.

    Is Trout better than Winfield?

    Is that serious question? Of course he is.

    Not According to WAR

    I'll post it again...

    Yes. Much better.
    It took Winfield 22 years to accumulate 59.9 fWAR.

    It took Trout just over 8 years to accumulate 73.4 fWAR. And he's only 28.

    I agree Trout is better but if you are just going off WAR he is not.

    Trout is at 72.8 in 8 years.. 8....

    Yeah by Career at this point Smith WAR is better, We can speculate Trout WAR will be better at the end of his career but we can also speculate he could get injured in his career as Griffey did.

    Now you you pick and choose how WAR works for you. So now it is who has a high WAR in less years. 19 years is a whole career we will see if Trout plays that long and stays healthy. I am just making my point that the player with a higher war is not always the better player.

    Now you you pick and choose how WAR works for you. So now it is who has a high WAR in less years. 19 years is a whole career we will see if Trout plays that long and stays healthy. I am just making my point that the player with a higher war is not always the better player.

    I'm done. You are too dense to have a conversation with dude. It's painful.

    You just pick and choose what you wan. I pointed out a player that has a higher career WAR than Trout. Knowing Trout is better but his WAR is not does not mean how high or fast in years some WAR gets.

    @Nanthrax_1 said in WAR MOST OVERRATED FORMULA IN BASEBALL:

    In their first 8 seasons.

    Ozzie Smith 30.4 bWAR
    Mike Trout 72.8 bWAR

    I honestly don't think you understand what a cumulative stat is

    I said WAR not bWAR. Wins over replacement, Smith is better. you can not deny it is not.

    Lol. bWAR is the one you are using. Baseball reference. fWAR is fangraphs..

    It's crazy how you can't wrap your head around this

    No I do understand, that Trout got to plus 70 WAR in 8 years when it took smith 19 years. I know Trout is better than more than half the guys above him in WAR, That is my whole point that just because WAR says a guy is better that is not true. You are to hard head to see my points. I have understood most of what you have said. Did you read the article I bet you didn't.

    By what you believe Joe Morgan is better than Ken Griffey Jr.

    Remember that time you complained that WAR didn't compare players against their era?

    Joe Morgan put up great all-around numbers with tremendous D at a middle infield position for a 15 year peak during a low period for offenses.

    Griffey put up good but not great numbers (considering he was contemporaries w/ McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc) with also excellent D but at a less important position for roughly a 10 year peak (with partial injury-plagued seasons stretching for another 5) during arguably the biggest offensive explosion in MLB history.

    Morgan should be rated higher than Griffey but not unreasonably so. Which means WAR (100.5 vs 83.8) is a pretty accurate stat despite your protestations.

    Is Trout better than Winfield?

    Is that serious question? Of course he is.

    Not According to WAR

    You're obviously not a serious person.

    Please show your work troll.

    Dude. Where did anyone say these players are better than Trout? The fact you can't put the amount of years it took them and their totals together is just you being dimwitted, not anyone saying they are better

    Not According to WAR

    Wtf are you talking about?? I just proved it.. what are you reading?
    You have absolutely zero clue. I'm assuming you can't read now

    Trout is ranked 86 in Career WAR According to Baseball Reference Ozzie Smith has a higher WAR.

    In bwar.. correct.
    It's cumulative.. do you understand that?
    Ozzie Smith got 76.9 WAR in 19 years.. 19 years.. I'll repeat one more time so you understand. 19 years.

    Trout is at 72.8 in 8 years.. 8....

    Do.. you... Understand?

    Yeah by Career at this point Smith WAR is better,

    No he's not!!!! Man you are so dense it's crazy. Smith totalled that amount for all 19 years. All 19!!! Not 8.. trout did almost the same in less than half the time

    Now you going to discredit Smith WAR cause had a 19 year career. When Trout is in his 16th season if he is lucky or blessed enough to play that long his WAR should be what 150 now that is speculating. If Trout Career ended today would he be in the HOF nope he would not. We would speculate what his career would have been. We know what Smith career was. His WAR right now is better. I am not saying Smith is better than Trout. Looking at WAR alone which is the argument not that Trout got to his War faster in his career.
