Salvy and Whit having approx the same value this year is absurd. Salvy is getting dinged for all his games at DH.

Of course he is. Armchair athletes saying he's made of glass, he's a pussy, he doesn't care, he's quitting on the team, etc. are ridiculous. The dude is a ballplayer. He wants to play ball.

But he doesn't play it all that well, and Sal plays a tougher position most of the time. Sal's OPS is about .140 higher.

Sometimes WAR doesn't look right, and that one doesn't look right. I assume it's about defense and the penalty Sal gets for 16 games at DH. Whit's replacement-level play at 2nd (and OF) shouldn't be considered that much more valuable.

bWAR is Salvy 2.4 / Whit 1.5, which seems more reasonable.

It's not like they are just going on his word that he's too sore to play. They do MRIs or whatever else and can see if something is torn or strained.
I have no idea about his conditioning though or if that could help with the oblique thing he's had twice now (opposite sides of his body).

But on different sides?

I don’t think that I have ever heard of that before.

Damn... even a millionaire professional athlete can't get his wife to not cheat, what hope do I have?
