Avid readers of this website know I am not a sabermetrics guy, going so far as to compare followers to that cult to atheists. I stumbled upon something that further proves my point that the sabermetrics holy grail of WAR is absolutely meaningless.
Not including pitchers, the Mets leader in WAR in 2016 was Yoenis Cespedes. No surprise there. His WAR was 2.9. By this measure, it means Cespedes only gave the Mets less than three wins fewer than an average replacement would have.
