In the spirit of America's claim in the subdivision forum "Adam Eaton--Best Player in Chicago"

Is in fact Ben Zobrist the BEST ?

Just sayin'

Best baseball player in Chicago is Chris Sale. Adam Eaton is better than Zobrist.

Maybe over time yes, but right now? Not remotely true.

That shows Eaton has 2.9 WAR and Zobrist has a 2.1. What are you trying to show me?

2.9 WAR For $2.75 million, or 2.1 WAR for 10.5 million?

Just for future reference, you're going to go with WAR as the single determining factor then? This is a yes or no question.

No, but I'm also going to question somebody who says it's "not remotely true" that someone with a 2.9 WAR is having a better season than someone with a 2.1 WAR.

Well, ya see Frank, there's this thing called a collective bargaining agreement. You are comparing a cost-controlled player versus a free agent.
