Take the Morales post. People say Morales is MOTO. There's 60 MOTO spots in the majors. He's not top 60 by wRC+, ISO or SLG. There's some context there, but how about this context? Among DH on that list he's 6th, 8th and 5th in those stats. To me it's fundamental that not just any guy can DH. Most players hit considerably worse when they're not playing the field. You want to compare a catcher to a RF go right ahead, but if they couldn't both do the others jobs what is the point? This is exactly the problem with the DH detriment in WAR calculation. For instance in 2010 in the AL, the DH average OPS was .758, topped by LF .768, 1b .788 and RF .791. WAR doesn't use that info to attempt to make an accurate "apples to oranges" comparison (which is exactly what WAR is trying to do), instead relying on old samples to decide the differences of now. Every year since 2006 (Hafner career year, Ortiz and Thome also over 1.000 OPS) DH OPS has been topped by 1b and that year it was a tie. Half of those years it's topped by a corner or both and often by OF as a whole. A DH's peers worth comparing them to are DH's. Especially if you're using WAR as any part of it, which Dave didn't but basically all the followers went right to in retweeting the correctness of "Morales isn't worth..."
