WS Pitching matchups

[SFGRTB]

Here's my lineup thought:


In SF-

CF- Torres
2B- Sanchez
1B- Huff
C- Posey
LF- Burrell
RF- Ross
3B- Uribe
SS- Renteria

In Texas-

CF- Torres
2B- Sanchez
DH- Huff
C- Posey
LF- Burrell
RF- Ross
3B- Uribe
1B- Sandoval
SS- Renteria

Sandoval has good hands at 1st and is fresh, plus it may help Huff if he could rest his legs a bit.

Tzill, did you use fangraphs WAR for the pitchers or BB Ref.?

Fangraphs. Is there a difference?

Fangraphs. Is there a difference?

Well I ask because you have Lincecum's 2010 WAR at 3.5, when Fangraphs has it at 5.1, while BB Ref has his WAR has it at 3.5

And yes, they calculate it differently I'm fairly certain.

You're correct, I used BB Ref. Perhaps GP can enlighten us on the difference in the calculations.

I haven't looked, but I'd speculate one is adding a speed factor, and they probably use different defensive measures - the latter assumes you're looking at total war. I don't take war too seriously, btw.
