I pretty thoroughly addressed the bigger the picture. Care to react to what I wrote about the position shift issue? How did that move add to his value?

If you're making the case that value itself goes significantly above and beyond wins and losses*, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.


*That doesn't mean WAR necessarily -- we can talk about how to divy up a team's wins, including how to include the impact of things we can't measure directly.
