Objective Measures of Value for MLB players

Some metrics, such as WAR, purport to measure value for MLB, now and historically, but when I look in places such as baseball-reference.com or fangraphs, I can find only separate lists for batters' WAR, pitcher's WAR, fielder's WAR, but no one chart listing all the players' total WAR rankings, which is what I'd like to see.



Further complicating matters is that simply combining the various lists (say pitcher's pitching and their hitting) doesn't create a definitive total. Instead, there seem to be all sorts of corrections and codicals I need to follow to add the two numbers together to reach a definitive total. Does anyone know of a place where they compute every player's complete WAR for each season?
