ANy mod could merge this with the other winners thread. I appreciate all who posted in this one !

Took me too long to post it while I was checking the box score and making the post and the other guy beat me .

Uh-oh, it’s time for me to go on my (brief compared to other ones) anti-war rant. 
 

In 2019 Alex Colome, I admit often scaring us to death, had 30 saves in 33 save opportunities. If I remember an earlier anti-war rant correctly, clearly better than anyone else in MLB that year with more than a dozen or so saves. His WAR from that year is 0.9. How stupid is that? Can anyone argue that he was worth less than one win to the Sox that year. 
 

That same year, Abreu hit 33 homers with 123 RBIs. His WAR that year was 2.5; the exact same as Yolmer Sanchez’s 2.5 WAR in 2018 when he hit .242 with 8 homers. WAR can be and too often is a pretty stupid, can’t-see-the-forest-for-the trees statistic. 
 

So to my point, Andrew Benintendi, in the last week alone, has been more valuable to the Sox than just one win so far this year.

Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t make it stupid.
