In another thread, longtime reader Topper wondered aloud: “Who is the all-time SABR whipping boy?”
In our first installment of Cannon Fodder: The Casualties of WAR, we look not at overrated players per se, but at those who managed the longest careers (since 1901) with a very poor WAR rate.
Note: To save space, I’ve shortened OPS+ to O+ and ERA+ to E+ in most of the tables.
POSITION PLAYERS
Standard: 1,193+ games (to capture exactly 50 players) and less than 1 WAR per 500 games.
(See addendum at bottom of post for WAR Runs breakdown — batting, fielding, etc.)
