WAR v WARP3
Matt, at BPro uses WARP3. Everyone at Fangraphs uses WAR (Fangraphs’ WAR, which I’ll label fWAR). Most others unaffiliated to these two sites use fWAR or Rally’s WAR (rWAR). Some use WARP3, notably Hall of Merit (who have also come to use rWAR).
Since WARP3 has the misfortune of not having UZR, PMR, or Dewan, then when should WARP3 be used and not used? My inclination has been to only use WARP3 (in part) on pre-Retro years. But in the Retro-years, to not use WARP3 at all.
Seeing that a smart guy like Matt, an outsider basically, who should have felt unconstrained to use whatever he wanted, chose to use WARP3, am I missing something? Is there something that WARP3 offers that rWAR and fWAR is missing?
