    What was the bet on Kemp?

    1 WAR, yes?

    After 4 games, he's sitting at 0.5 bWAR and 0.5 fWAR.

    As long as Kemp is on the DL... his WAR will be decent

    KeMvP generates that much WAR in his sleep.

    Pretty sure it was > 1 bWAR and I lose.

    When he stops OPSing 1.600 and his defense continues at it's usual pace, I will win the bet easily.

    Haha fine. I honestly don't remember, but the chances of him being exactly 1.0 are so minimal I'll take your word for it.

    I really should raise it to 2 to make it interesting, but nah...

    Still looking for just the right joe Simpson quote for you.

    I have to come up with a whole new idea for your signature. My original idea isn't funny now that zb didn't pay up and I couldn't get anyone else to agree to any bets.

    We finally got some UZR data so we can have true fWAR and bWAR numbers now.

    fWAR .4
    bWAR .2

    The main difference between the two is that Kemp is -2 in DRS (bref) and only -.07 UZR (fangraphs). Both are horrible numbers at this point and I'm not sure if fangraphs has all 3 weeks of data so far. They do usually run a little bit behind. Kemp is going to need to beast it on offense to get to 1 WAR or higher this year.

    And the bet is bWAR, so no need to post fWAR.

    When his OPS falls from this unsustainable 1.080, his bWAR accumulation will grind to a halt.

    Did KEMvP get a defensive boost from his all star throw from LF to get runner at plate Saturday night?
