If he keeps it up. Big if. Chances are his offense will decline and his defense will get even worse.

The marginal revenue of 1 WAR is 5 large? That sounds like an awful lot!
Registered User
I think it depends on the team and the situation. If a team is close to contending and a few more wins will put them over the top and into the postseason, this wins are easily worth at least $5M each. If a player lifts your team from 65 to 70 wins, he's probably not as good a value at $25 million as a player who takes you from 88 wins to 93 wins.

Since the Yanks barely won the AL East, does that mean you think Jeter was worth his salary?

I can certainly see the marginal revenue of a single win being worth 5 large or even far more given the situation. That being said, an actual win and WAR are two different things. You just can't assign a value to a single WAR. A dime a dozen average player with a WAR of 2 is not really worth 10 million IMO. A 2 WAR player is everywhere and can be aquired by any team. A 10 WAR player is a rare gem and worth far more than five 2 WAR players.
Is a 5 WAR player worth 25 million? How about a 10 WAR player, is he worth 50 million? Is the marginal revenue of a 10 WAR player $10 million over a player with a WAR of 8? Hard to answer these questions without knowing the actual scenarios but if I had to answer these questions, my answers would be; no, no, maybe...
Jeter only had 2.1 WAR that year so if you go by the 5 large per WAR formula, he was overpaid...

There were 962 non-pitchers who appeared in the major leagues last season.
151 of them produced 2 or more WAR.
That's 15%
Now, there's some playing time issues with that. Hard to put up 2 WAR in 1 PA.
130 of 193 players who had 400 PA's put up 2 WAR. That's about 2/3rds
But, that's only about 4 players per team (130/30).
2 WAR players aren't everywhere.

Well, I was 12 during the 1985 season. I remember the news, but I did not know at the time just how awful he was. Looking back, he was terrible. Would Jeter look that bad? We'll know soon. If he can get to 196 or so hits this year, then he's at 3,500. Not bad. I also think it would be amazing for baseball to have another player/manager and someone to hold the hits record that isn't banned.He does give out a lot of autographs.

Obviously we have slightly different definition for ubiquitous...
I would consider 2/3 of 400+ PA players or 4 per team to be dime a dozen....
Our difference in the interpretation of ubiquitous notwithstanding, my point was that such a dime a dozen player is not worth 10 large; and that a single 10 WAR player is worth far more than five 2 WAR players.

I guess.
On the average team, 4 players were capable of 2 WAR. 4.5 were not.
Based on what?Our difference in the interpretation of ubiquitous notwithstanding, my point was that such a dime a dozen player is not worth 10 large;
Here's how the $5 million number was arrived at

What do you disagree with?
Agreed.and that a single 10 WAR player is worth far more than five 2 WAR players.
However, the market doesn't show that.
There aren't any 10 WAR players but 4+ WAR players sign for about $5 million per war
2 WAR players sign for about $5 million per WAR
Registered User
The article is stating that a win is worth 5 large, not WAR in particular; which is what I said in another post. Adding a 1 WAR player to your roster is not going to give you another win.
Registered User
The win that they refer to is a win above replacement.
Registered User
If that is the case, then I will have to disagree with such a general application of WAR.
Registered User
On what grounds?
WAR very accurately models team wins
WAR very accurately predicts future contracts
Registered User
Didn't you just agree with me that a 10 WAR player is worth more than five 2 WAR players?
A player that immensely talented and that rare taking up one roster spot is worth far more than five mediocred players that can be easily replaced taking up five rosters spots.
Registered User
Yes.

Again, the full article, gives more detail than my short quote.I understand why people think that premium players are worth more than a linear dollar-per-win conversion might suggest, but the evidence simply isn’t there to support that kind of market valuation in Major League Baseball right now. Teams pay for wins (or what they perceive will lead to wins, anyway), but they don’t pay extra to get more of those wins in one package.
Registered User
If the linear dollar per win is true doesn't that mean that the often criticized MLB team executives (who say things like in my signature) are actually fantastic in assessing players? we always talk about overpaying contracts but your stats don't seem to support that.
I think walks are overrated unless you can run. If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps, but the guy who walks and can’t run, most of the time he’s clogging up the bases for somebody who can run. – Dusty Baker.

The player/manager thing did not work well last time.
Growing up between Philly and NY I was a big Rose fan. I remember Sport magazine running a cartoon with Rose saying he would remain active until he got the record. Followed by a Bowie Kuhn statement now declaring all hits, walks, strike-outs and pop-ups hits so that he could get there.

Some players are overpaid, yes.we always talk about overpaying contracts but your stats don't seem to support that.
How do the stats not support that?
Registered User
Some are overpaid of course. but I was saying that MLB executives are ON AVERAGE very good in assessing players value if the actual payment correlates so well with WAR. or is this conclusion wrong?
