Cabrera won MVP Topic

If you can't comprehend why some voters would consider "value to the team" based on the definition given, I'm sorry.

The donation is worth $50.
Mike Trout's WAR was 10.

The $50 does not help me reach my goal. It has little value to me.
Mike Trout's WAR of 10 does not help the Angels reach their goal of making the playoffs.  He does not have that much value to them.

The $50 would help Joe, who missed his goal by $10.  The $50 would have been significantly more valuable to Joe than it was to me.
Mike Trout's WAR of 10 would have helped the Texas Rangers, who just missed the playoffs.  He would have been significantly more valuable to the Rangers than he was to the Angels.

"Actual value to the team." to the team. to the team. to the team.
Mike Trout was worth 10 wins to the Angels. Trout would have been worth 10 wins to any team. No player in the league was worth more than Trout.

Worth and value are the same thing.

As an aside - we've confused BL with someone else when it comes to that FIP argument.  Someone else with an underscore.  
Not really.   JRDX or something.  Same guy.  FIP just got **** on so bad that he abandoned that one. 
? There's nothing inherently wrong with FIP.

What was the context?

And how valuable would those 10 wins have been to the Angels?  And to the Rangers? ....TO THE TEAM

Worth and value can mean the same thing in certain circumstances.  But they are 2 different words for a reason.

Some people will suck a dick for $10.  You know why?  That $10 is very valuable to them.

Would you suck a dick for $10?

Nope. But $10 is still worth $10 and always worth less than $20.

They're ******* synomyms. They mean the same thing.

Is it because that $10 doesn't hold the same value to you?

Those 10 wins are worth 10 wins. To the Angels, Mets, Cubs, Yankees, Orioles, Blue Jays, Rangers, Astros, Marlins, Braves...

Is $10 always worth less than $20 because I don't want to suck dick?

I know plenty of people that suck dick for free. Does that mean that they have no need for money?

You asked how valuable those 10 wins were to the Angels and Rangers.

The answer is 10 wins. Trout's value was 10 wins.

Two ID's making virtually the same exact arguments on the same exact topics using the same back-asswards logic can't POSSIBLY be the same person.
