Ohtani has eight fucking wins on the mound. This should not be close.

- PCA does provide a ton of value defensively and on the bases* - By DoctorD August 6, 2026 at 09:08:39 PM
  - Bases is baked into his WAR. Defensively nothing close to 8 wins on the mound. - By Lodz August 6, 2026 at 09:26:13 PM
    - PCA has more overall WAR on b-r, right? How can PCA have a 1.8 dWAR and Ohtani only 2.9 WAR for his pitching? He's only 1 win more valuable as a pitcher vs PCA's fielding? - By jjwalker August 6, 2026 at 11:26:41 PM
    - Isn’t PCA more than double his WAR as a position player? - By DoctorD August 6, 2026 at 09:30:42 PM
      - In center field? Negative.* - By Lodz August 6, 2026 at 09:36:21 PM
- I am more curious about Dingler vs Alvarez in the AL - By DoctorD August 6, 2026 at 09:01:51 PM
  - Alvarez way out in front and Dingler is 80-1 in recent odds. He's behind Caminero, Rice, and Witt.* - By gbmcq August 6, 2026 at 09:34:06 PM
