i'm not picking on you, but i want to get this out there:
WARP3 sucks. it bites the big one. if you gave everyone credit for his full WARP3 rating, the average team would win something like 120 games.
the nats totaled 59.4 WARP3 last year. since it's established that a replacement-level team can win about 49 games, they should have gone 108-54 instead of 73-89...if you believe WARP3 is useful for this exercise.
re: milledge being as good now as church, it's true.
