Well Kris Bryant has a negative defensive war this year and was horrible last year all around. He also has done most of his offensive damage against lefties and struggled against righties.
Despite your take in Machado, he still has a positive defensive war this year and was great all around last year.
If both trend in the same direction this season, they will meet around 85 overall soon imo.
Still has a positive defense WAR. You do realize that WAR, in and of itself, is not the final benchmark. It's one of many. There are only 3 other 3B in NL that have more errors than Machado. One happens to be Mr. Gold Glove himself.
We can compare stats all day long. Not going there, but I am sticking to my guns that SDS puts their own players on a pedestal with bias and disregard for their customers fave players. Not cool.
Ok, he also has a negative uzr. Both stats are much better indicators than errors for defensive value. Look, I think he catches Machado soon, but there are valid reasons why Machado was higher up until this point.
