I think teams value players much closer to what fWAR would indicate than whatever the scout you talked with who thinks the ~4+ WAR player is wasting his ability he was 2nd in fWAR over a 3 year stretch amongst all 3rd basemen in baseball. I don't think he's *that* player, but I do think teams would value him highly. Edited May 19, 2022 by maxjusttyped 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
