Kool I'll pass this along.

Jayson Werth is listed as a left fielder, but usually starts in right field for the Nationals.

I've seen quite a few people think certain players are better based on WAR. Honestly, in my opinion, I think that WAR is an overrated stat. It's just something new that people decided to make up. Like I said, just my opinion

I've seen quite a few people think certain players are better based on W-L record. Honestly, in my opinion, I think that W-L record is an overrated stat, it's something that the old guard clings to because at the end of the day, all that matters is who wins and who loses. Like I said, just my opinion

Yeah a lot of Tiger fans think this. I wonder why

Mike Trout has contact against L at 76, and last year it was 73. In 2012 he hit .267 against lefties and in 2013 he hit .309, but he received just a 3 point boost for hitting 42 points higher. Considering he played just 2 seasons and second year showed a significant improvement against left-handed pitchers, present rating of 76 seems too low to me. The batter's last year should carry a lot of weight as it may show a trend, or perhaps be more reflective of true ability.

Have you seen that when you create a young player by the past of the time his overall goes down instead of going up?
