Just saw this over on ESPN when discussing National League MVP:
Below are WAR leaders for National League position players entering Sunday.
According to Baseball-Reference:
Paul Goldschmidt: 5.6
Joey Votto: 5.4
Nolan Arenado: 5.1
Corey Seager: 4.9
Anthony Rendon: 4.9
Giancarlo Stanton: 4.9
Bryce Harper: 4.6
According to FanGraphs:
Goldsdchmidt: 5.2
Rendon: 5.0
Harper: 5.0
Seager: 5.0
Votto: 4.8
Justin Turner: 4.7
Why is this being used by the stat community if two groups can come to numbers that differ fairly significantly from one another?
