Yeah, I never compared the two.

If Kansas wins the Championship, I come in second, otherwise I win my Pool

Yes WAR is calculated differently, and yet it's the same cost.  The formula adds the two together as it does on the dollars spent.   That's what WAR costs.   I am not speaking about Arod (you need to grow up with calling him Aroid) as it's not relevant in the discussion of WAR value directly.

No it doesn't, but it is what it is.  I've done way too many leagues so I let the vote win which it seems to have settled on three.  The voters have spoken.  Even if they are wrong.  No more complaints from me on that front

When you base it off of subjective than objective there is no conversation to be had.  You like ketchup on a Hot Dog, I like Mustard.  Neither is a "sin."  However when the discussion comes to what a Chicago Dog is, Ketchup is out.  It matters not how you like to eat it, it's based on the...

I'm in need of pitching if you all want to make some moves

Arod deal was still good when made.  It turned out not to be when done.   The issue is you judge it based on the value of WAR and the projection you think the player will be.   If WAR is $4 million per which I have proven it is and you sign a projected 6 WAR player for $20 million you saved $4...

And i've been in leagues where two teams were decimated by injury and had to stop playing because there was not enough DL slots.

Capping DL slots is silly, they don't do that in the baseball. Three is not enough.  You get an injured team the strategy is to quit the league since you have to drop a guy hurt for a month.   Put it to a vote.

Alex got hurt and got suspended during that 10 year contract which turned out to be 8 years instead of 10 costing about $40 million less.  Missing two years during that time he still produced 21-23 WAR.  Yes an overpay, but not by as much as folks would think.   However, that's not the value of...

I agree with you.  There's more than those two.  That said, no matter what model is used they are both generally speaking extremely close on average so it matters now how WAR is calculated.  If it was vastly different than there would be an issue.

You are correct, total spent on all players divided by the total war by said players gets you dollars per WAR   I've heard the 8 million total for a while, but no one can show where that comes from if not by the formula I gave.   Take it simple.  Say there is only 1 player and he earns 2 WAR and...

It's a fact, you can't read into fact.  Other teams may value things differently, but that's not the value of WAR.   Inflation has no affect on cost.  4 million gets you x or y, still the same 4 million. 

Heard ir's 60 million.  Sounds like an overpay given the situation.

That's not logic, that's gut feel with incomplete data.  Total dollars spent divided by Total WAR for a given year is the true cost of WAR.  That's the only logic there is, however I am open to logical correction.

And that would not tell you how much it takes for 1 war.   The formula is total expenses divided by total war  that is the cost of 1 WAR

I couldn't find that Coach.   I took total batting WAR and Pitching WAR from fangraphs, then found a site for total payroll.  Divided total payroll by total fWAR and got $4 million per WAR.

Here's what I would do with Braun and the Bar.  I'd keep Braun's partner a secret until WM.  The Bar would come out first and then Braun.  JoJo would announce his partner but nothing.  Then a video showing Braun beating the daylights out of Elias pre-match.  The Tag match would happen and just...

There is a board.  I proposed this when it was just us two.  Having to cary injured players on an active roster because of two DL slots causes people to stop making moves.

If it went up, then ALtuve would be getting say 70 million per year instead of 30.  It's definitely gone lower than $8 million per
