but my question is why

Posted on August 7, 2026 at 06:36:28 AM by DoctorD

They are nearly tied in fangraphs WAR for the position player lead in the AL and it’s not like Houston is better than the Tigers

Back to the board

Thread:

Did PCA pass Ohtani for NL MVP lead? Their offensive stats are nearly identical with Ohtani slightly ahead in every category save SBs and WAR, but… - By Lodz August 6, 2026 at 08:57:38 PM
- 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
      - he just has not pitched many innings this season* - By DoctorD August 7, 2026 at 07:35:43 AM
    - 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
        
        On fangraphs, PCAs WAR > Ohtani pitching plus hitting WAR combined - By DoctorD August 7, 2026 at 06:39:32 AM
- 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
    - but my question is why - By DoctorD August 7, 2026 at 06:36:28 AM
