FUN WITH WAR!!
Per B-R (for position players only):
Cabrera's WAR (O+D) is 6.9. His team total WAR is 14.5. Meaning Cabrera's WAR is 47.6% of his team's total level.
Trout's WAR (O+D) is 10.7. His team total WAR is 38.2. Trout's WAR is 28% of his team's total.
Who is more valuable to their team?
Trout had better teammates. Makes sense since the Angels won more games and were a better team. Should Trout be punished for this fact?
actually in terms of value to his team...yes. in terms of performance no.
lets try an analogy.
In one pot you have $382; in another you have $145. If you take $107 away from Jar 1, you still have $275. If you take $69 dollars away from jar 2, you have only $76.
The $107 is a higher number, but the $69 is more important to the overall contents of its jar.
