“Runway”

No...WAR isn't like that

How, exactly, is WAR not like that? It’s 100% can be extrapolated.

So JW -0.5 means he will be a -1.5 at years end

There are no numerically negative real statistics in baseball…..which goes to show that WAR isn’t a REAL baseball statistic…..but enjoy debating nonsense

People who understand war understand it isn’t a “stat”. It’s a calculation. It does a reasonably good job at estimating how many more wins he’ll help you get than a typical AAA replacement player. But it isn’t a stat by a technical definition. You’re right there.
