WAR says in 2008 Marquis was more valuable than Marmol, even though Marmol's ERA was much better. You don't have to accept that, I can't make you accept that, but the fact is virtually every sabremetrician on the planet accepts that.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Interesting. Do you think any GM (sabre-minded or not) would trade 2008 Marmol for 2008 Marquis, straight up? Remove salary from the equation.

I'm thinking not, but I suppose I could be wrong.

Sort of makes me question the value of WAR as a metric...
