How many wins do people think Bonds deserves knocked out of his WAR?
Around 80 wins.
Bonds’ showing in the Baseball-Reference ELO rater is more consistent with someone who had 92 WAR than 172 WAR. That’s (implicitly) 80 WAR of bad distaste that the voters have given Bonds. Interestingly, since 1999 (and the suspicion is he started PED use after the accolades given to the 1998 HR bash boys), he’s accumulated 68 WAR. So, not only have the voters basically stripped Bonds of his career since 1999, they’ve given him an extra punishment of not counting his 1998 season either (78 WAR since 1998). Or another way to look at it, they’ve stripped off nearly half his career.
