Give or Take

According to baseball-reference.com, Gavin Sheets of the White Sox has a .2 WAR while Liam Hendriks’ comes in at 2.6. Andrew Vaughn? Why, .2, of course. Yoan Moncada beats Jose Abreu, 4 to 3. And if your life depended on one at-bat, who would you want taking it, Moncada or Abreu? Truly, figures don’t lie, figurers do. Moncada over everyone else named above is a testament to just how subjective analytics can be, and is. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the Sox front office doesn’t go by such numbers alone. They just don’t add up.
