Denard Span is more valuable than Josh Hamilton based on WAR.
That alone is enough to throw WAR in the trash.
This.
Plus, somewhere, it was posted that Verlander should be the Tigers' MVP based upon WAR. Having watched a majority of Detroit's games, this statement most certainly discredits WAR. Verlander had a great season, but Cabrera is clearly the Tigers MVP. I would put Jackson and Fielder ahead of Verlander, but its close among those three.
If WAR cannot get a team MVP, it goes to show that it is one tool, but not the end all say all.
For me, Cabrera's stats down the stretch and in the final 3 innings make him the MVP.
