WAR is a way to crunch all the available numbers out there and rank them accordingly. 


So you want to take an all-star out of the lineup and put in a bunch of "starter" level players? I don't get why that is. I want to have good players on my team. 

And LOL at throwing strikes to Joey V. The dude may not be able to take it the distance, but you're dumb as sh!it if you pitch right at him. There's a reason why pitchers avoid pitching right at him. He'll turn a walk in into a double quickly. 

Btw, Votto’s War was 3.5 this year. When he was pitched to, 42 of his over 500 AB’s were extra base hits. If he doesn’t improve on that, more pitchers will start throwing him more strikes.
