"When people are going by straight WAR evaluating, I just don't buy that,
personally," said Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski,
flavoring his opinion with an anecdote that involved Cubs second baseman
Darwin Barney.
Dave Dombrowski: 我個人是不相信什麼WAR啦
"I remember when I went to the ownership meetings in Colorado in August, and
I was walking back from dinner with Tony La Russa (retired Cardinals manager)
and we're talking about statistics and about WAR. And, no offense to the
player, but when I woke up that morning they had on the (ESPN.com) site that
Darwin Barney that day was ranked ahead of Miguel Cabrera in WAR.
"有天我早上起來 看到ESPN上WAR的數據 Darwin Barney那時居然比Miguel Cabrera高"
"And I don't mean anything against Darwin Barney, but there wasn't a person
in Major League Baseball who on that particular day would have traded Miguel
Cabrera for Darwin Barney. So, when people say WAR is all-encompassing, that
loses the argument to me right there."
"我不是要批批評Barney 但有人會把肥卡布拿去換Barney嗎? 所以 當有人說WAR
是考慮周全的數據時 我就笑了"
