Re: Gauging WAR vs. Rnk in the new
A career 36-44, 4.77 ERA pitcher in that league, who now appears unstoppable. Sounds about right!
We've debated before about compilation vs. efficiency stats vs. a hybrid of the two. Galvin got that pitching WAR total by compilation (within a season), but it indicates a percentage of time that the pitcher is "on fire." In other words, it's a compilation stat being used as a rate stat.
Fun fact: Galvin is also the first known player to use PEDs, and everyone was quite proud of him for doing so!
@Shiek: Galvin's rating/rank is 56 in that league. Do you happen to know what it was before the change? Does the change in how "fire" is calculated change the pitcher's rank?
