Yikes. If you want me to make it simpler I will: an eloy that slashes 250/310/550 is functionally equivalent to what Avi contributed. Man I swear some of you guys try and play "gotchas" when it's you getting got.
My point of course of the Fangraphs "trade value" column, and I've made this for awhile is that projected WAR is not at all how MLB GMs evaluate trades. It's a component sure, but it's not even close to the main one, and it's almost ALL FGs uses in their rankings.
Look at the fat, out of shape and sloppy and oh by the way isn't hitting Vlad Jr and tell me he's more valuable at this moment than TA around MLB. With a straight face? Come on fangraphs.
