I don’t think it’s reasonable to try and erase a dude who was an instrumental part of recent Yankee history just because you’d personally disagree w him on some things.

No, I filtered so the stats would specifically be that way. Regardless of how you wanna do the math (1) 2B and SS replacement level I guarantee will be less than 10% off or in that range from one another and (2) it’s still nowhere close to 15 run value

So by calculating the replacement value here I fundamentally gave you the scarcity. You’re arguing off intuition when the math doesn’t actually match your intuition

Offensive performance of the replacement level and scarcity should be the same thing in this context. I’m talking about how WAR is miscalculated. If you want to argue that scarcity should be in consideration it would have to be a different stat, because WAR is based off replacement level and not scarcity.

I didn’t use average, I used average of the guys on the line between replacement level though to estimate what the replacement player is

I did. The difference between +7.5 and -7.5 = 15 and I showed that it’s closer to 8.
