Unfortunately, Robbie Ray will always be known for giving up the HR to Alvarez in game 1. A game we were in command all day. Just like last night. At least for me.

If you don't think SSs and Catchers don't have more value defensively than a DH I don't know what to tell you. Edgar put up 60+ WAR as a DH, about the same as Ichiro and Jim Edmonds who was a great CF so it isn't a huge part of the WAR Calc.Michael K. wrote: ↑Sat Aug 30, 2025 2:47 amPay a SS mote if you want, this has nothing to with salary. I could not care less about saving some fat fucking billionaire money. Some dude gets stuck into the lineup at SS, and gets a WAR bump? Stupid stat.
Do you think Nelson Cruz deserved to lose 17.5 points a year? Utterly useless stat.
So you think Edgar deserved a negative 17 in WAR because he was that invaluable those Mariner teams? No fucking chance Julio's CF defense was a +20 or what ever above Edgar because he runs to CF.
