Position players and WAR

Carp said:
It's obvious by your answer you didn't even read the article. And if you did then simply refuse to look at stats and actual evidence of why certain pitchers consistently induce much weaker contact than others. Pitchers CLEARLY have a noticeable influence on how hard a ball is hit, to an extent. And this is especially true in certain situations of an at bat.

I did read the article. It points to some examples. You can find an example of pretty much anything you want to prove statistically.
 
So basically you're sticking you head in the sand or just hardcore trollin. Either way, I'm done with this argument since it's clear you have zero interest in listening to reason.
 
Figured I'd bump this up.

Same 6 players trending 3 plus WAR with 3 over

Simmons 3.9
Freddie 3.4
Jason 3.1
Justin 2.9
Mac 2.9
Johnson 2.8

On the positive BJ is no longer a negative either. He's at 0.0. WOOOO. Uggla also has had a slight improvement.

To bring back from the first post

Last year

C - Mac 1.8
1B - Freeman 1.8
2B - Uggla 3.4
3B - Chipper 2.7
SS - Simmons 2.2
LF - Prado 5.6
CF - Bourn 6.1
RF - Jason 6.4

And if we do this year

C - Mac 2.9
1B Freeman 3.4
2B Uggla 1.0
3B Johnson 2.8
SS Simmons 3.9
LF Justin 2.9
CF Bossman 0.0
RF Jason 3.1

If you just go to the whole position players, last year we had a 26.3 this year we're at 25.1. What makes this year more impressive though is the offensive side. Last year we were so high largely because of a league leading 68 UZR, this year we're at a much more human (though it would be higher if Jason was healthy) 30.7. This year we're tied for 6th in th emajors in wRC+, tied for second in the NL with the Cards having a slight edge.
 
Bump again.

So with only a short time left in the season it's again the haves and have nots

Freddie 4.6
Simmons 4.5
Justin 3.1
Mac 2.9
Heyward 2.9
Johnson 2.9

Imagine how good we'd be with a healthy Jason and Mac, we'd have 4 guys with a WAR near or over 4.
