Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

Edgy MD Dec 09 2013 03:27 PM

This is easier. Just asking for the top ten Mets with regard to career defensive WAR. No per-600 mysteries. For the purposes of this thread I'm (A) using baseball-reference's measure of dWAR, and (b) stipulating that I while I consider the pursuit of defensive WAR to be a noble purpose, I believe our and baseball-reference's efforts to have approached meaningful accuracy, but probably not arrived anywhere within spitting distance. One guess per post: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Carlos Beltran.

Edgy MD Dec 09 2013 03:39 PM Re: Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

Beltran gave you 4.3 WAR in 7468.33 innings. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Beltran, 4.3 (7468.33 inn.) 8. 9. 10.

LWFS's gonna be in for a rude awakening. (So was I, when I looked up Keith's dWAR years ago).

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 09 2013 04:00 PM Re: Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

Figured it was borderline, at best. Okay, then...

Edgy MD Dec 09 2013 04:02 PM Re: Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

Yeah, if Keith doesn't destroy all faith a living being can have in defensive WAR, than nothing will. 1. 2. 3. Ordóñez, 10.0 (7,570 inn.) 4. 5. 6. 7. Beltran, 4.3 (7,468.33 inn.) 8. 9. 10. Hernandez, 0.4 (6,469.33 inn)

Jerry Grote. Wasn't there some recent discussion here about how underrated his defense was?

Robin Ventura?

Edgy MD Dec 09 2013 08:33 PM Re: Going to WAR with Your Metly Fielders

Ventura completes our quiz of Mets effective in the vague skill of collecting dWAR. Thankyou for playing.
