Sabermetric Sunday: WAR

In recent weeks here at Rum Bunter I have taken a look at various sabermetric stats. I have done this to help baseball fans that do not know much about sabermetrics learn a bit and expand their knowledge. That continues today as I take a look at wins above replacement, or WAR for short.

Anyone who reads my work knows that I am big believer in sabermetrics. In my opinion, sabermetrical stats are the best way to evaluate baseball players. Even though this often times gets be called things such as a ‘know nothing nerd’ by a lot of old school baseball fans that either refuse to accept new things or are too lazy to learn about them, I still remain a big believer in sabermetrics.
