the only reason i've been checking in to PSD lately is to is if IABF will ever bless us with his beautiful and knowledgeable insight.
come on! ENLIGHTEN us!I no longer care about anything here except for the Entertainment Forum, which sucks; the Music forum, which sucks; and the Magic forum, which does NOT suck.
Love y'all!
Except for all of y'all.

I understand the (unfunny) joke. I'm asking you to support your opinion of WAR. Originally Posted by Mr Costanza

Honestly it really depends on what your fighting for. For example the right to freedom is certainly worth WAR. However I think simply fighting over differences such as religion is silly and completely fruitless. Originally Posted by jej

Or the guy could answer instead of being a troll. Since trolling is cool when people are trying to have a normal discussion. Originally Posted by Driven

But let's ***** about that post and not the ones following it that were off-topic, as well.Last edited by Driven; 10-21-2012 at 07:32 PM.

I wasn't actually trying to troll at all (just lighten up a pretty dry thread) but since it is important to not stray whatsoever from the topic at hand I do find it a meaningful stat. Sorry but how many threads and posts are needed to say that this is a good stat to use in your evaluations of players? Originally Posted by Iansnightout

WAR is used by major league teams to evaluate players, i would have to believe that gives it some obvious merit even if IABF feels otherwise.
It's like anything else, though it needs to be taken in context and used along with many other stats to evaluate the player as a whole.Last edited by metswon69; 10-21-2012 at 08:40 PM.

I love how many idiots that don't understand sabermetrics just say they are wrong.
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's wrong. Sabermetrics are awesome, end of story.
