That is true, but when you see they are closer to 180 than 1 and that the link only covers 450 teams as the data isn't there outside of recent times....but hey, let's not take that into consideration.
No they haven't. Put the Kool-Aid down.

You are super ignorant if you think teams care about increasing a player's WAR value.
The play against 500 teams matters a lot. It's better talent and the better you play against said talent more than likely means you yourself are a great player.
What ignorance. He's the best RF in the game. He's the best fielder in the game as well. He's crushing every RF but one in WAR. Yep, he's a bad bad man. LOL
This is a pretty bad question. Clearly the choice for future value here is Bryant.
Now make this a question on who should be the MVP for 2016 and you have a much better question.
On the surface it would appear Bryant is that answer as well. However when you dig deeper into the numbers a...

I initially voted Stanton and then re-looked at his performance. He's a lot of contract there. I think Betts should have been #1 Harper #2 and then I think I'd go Adam Eaton #3. He's 2nd behind Betts in WAR.
