WAR, what is it? Simply a tool used to judge a player’s value to the franchise. It stands for Wins Above Replacement. WAR simply meaning how many wins this player is better than the guy who has replaced him. No Dodger in team history has a WAR higher than Kershaw’s 71.8. That was almost 72 games better than his replacements. There are currently 31 players who finished with a WAR over 100. The 32nd player on the list is Albert Pujols who sits at 99.5. Undoubtedly, the last several years have served to keep Tio Albert from finishing above 100.
