I actually think WAR might be the best advanced statistic created but it still has some flaws. It's mainly overvaluing defensive WAR or underrating power imo but it's still a great metric.
And you clearly haven't been reading my posts as I was hard on the Alonso bandwagon all offseason. It was exactly what this team needed from an offensive standpoint.
I've said countless times, any player who is willing to accept a pillow contract is a guy id be willing to "overpay" on a longterm deal. It's also why I cried over not bringing Teo back before lol.
