War is not based on league average.
It is replacement level, which is basically find any guy that's a fringe major leaguer, bring them up from the minor leagues, a 4A player, if you will.
That's basically replacement level.
Interesting you say that.
I want to put some context on the .3 war for Cruz last year.
There was a guy in a Pirates uniform who had a better war at .5.
Alexander Canario had a higher wins above replacement last year than O'Neal Cruz did.
Get him suited up for the third period.
Well, Sidney Crosby is the first overall pick and my next number will relate to another first overall pick.
That is the career batting average for Henry Davis.
And at this point, it's not that small of a sample size.
He has played 186 games, 581 at bat.
So about a season or maybe more than a full season worth.
And his batting average is 181.
I mean, it still feels like a massive disappointment for what the expectations were when you drafted him.
