Who's the next 100 WAR guy?

[ScooterD]

Nichols had 101 WAR at age 30.

Phil Niekro accumulated 65.5 WAR AFTER turning 35!!!

Both are shocking to me

No dis to Kid Nichols, but his career spanned from 1890 to 1906, so I just can’t take his WAR total too seriously. He was playing against guys who were also barbers, bar tenders, and various other professions when not at the ball park.

Soto needs to essentially be 19-26 year old Soto for the next 10 years x 162 games to hit 100 by age 36, since he is at 6.3/162 in that time period. He is on pace to be slightly above that this year.

Depends on which War you use, he's below that rate for fangraphs war.

They can’t all be threads about Roki Sasaki’s True Rarity card.


(Although he sure did try.)

That’s good! He hasn’t hit his peak years yet (in my opinion). Should be easy then

Soto would be my choice

[jduds]

I'm not sure there are any currently. Soto, Witt, and Gunnar would be the most likely IMO, but I'd put Witt at the top of that group. J. Rod could get in the mix if he can ever figure out how to not suck to start every season. He's got a chance if he can start playing full years like he does July-September. It's way to early to mention him seriously, but James Wood will be in this conversation soon it looks like.

The answer may genuinely be a guy that hasn't made the bigs yet, or just broke in during the last year or 2.

Or maybe we dont see it again as the average replacement level player is just so close to superstars its impossible.

I would imagine as awesome as Kyle Schwarber is, he’s closing in on it…

Wait, never mind.

Read the first post in this thread and then report back on which version of WAR this thread is about.
