Trying to come up with a stat that purports to compare a pitcher’s value to the team with a position player’s value is rubbish. Apples and oranges.
It was a simple question. One to consider the team’s present situation. What would the rotation be like if Wainwright didn’t fill Flaherty’s spot as the anchor and what would the lineup be like without Arenado batting third. It wasn’t meant to get the advanced stats guys in a tizzy and use one stat to be the be-all answer. Now what’s your opinion was what I was looking for.
