This just proves my point that when you try to make statistics too complex, they lose their validity. And regarding WAR, I'm glad you mentioned that Fangraphs and Baseball America can't even manage to agree how WAR should be calculated. That's another thing about WAR that has always made me question its usefulness. Last edited by Lex Luthor; 10-03-2012 at 09:41 AM.. |

But there is a statistical flaw in counting the same occurrence in two lists, then adding the two lists together without accounting for the double-dip. Think about the way accounting works. It would be like adding a sale to an individual counter for the salesman, adding it to the total company sales, and then adding the salesman's figures to the total company figures again.
