I'm not sure where I fall on this discussion, but I like WAR, because it's easy to understand. I got curious to I went to Baseball Reference and noticed that the Cubs have the #1 and #2 players in the league for Defensive WAR. #1, not surprisingly is Barney. I was surprised to see that #2 is Castro. So, according to WAR, we have the two best middle infielders in the game and we're still the worst team in baseball. Awesome.
