Sabermetrics question.

Negative WAR means that a replacement level player would perform better than selected individual, based on performance. If this is the case, does it mean that WAR is scaled correctly? Currently, there are 20 players (17 hitters, 3 pitchers) that have a negative WAR that have qualifying stats.

This doesn't seem right? Surely there are far more players out there that are regulars that are below replacement level. Maybe I don't have the right definition of replacement level.

Replacement level means a AAAA guy, your guys like Daniel Nava, who is too good for AAA but not good enough to be an everyday starter.

You have to look at 0 as if that's the starting point for a MLB caliber player, and not as if it means 50th percentile.

In case that helps.

I don't think the MLB TV contract is as lucrative as the NBA or NFL TV deals.

Of course individual teams have very lucrative deals, like the Yankees and the Dodgers, Red Sox and a few others.

Hasn't the Marlins had trouble drawing? Do they have a big local TV deal?

Welp, already had a Jose Fernandez jersey, guess I'll get one for Stanton. Go Jeter.
