Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5190908, member: 173"] We’re talking about WAR, chief. In 1980, his WAR was -0.4. You are flat out insane if you think a guy with a negative WAR “led a team to the World Series.” Mike Schmidt had a 8.9 WAR in 1980 - he led the Phillies into the playoffs while an aging Rose hung on for dear life most of that season. A hot streak in the NLCS doesn’t change the fact he was terrible all year. Rose’s WAR in 1981 was 1.7 - a solid year for sure - but also the only one he had after 1979. So my comment that almost all of his WAR was accumulated between 1963-1979 is factually correct. It also took me all of thirty seconds to find an article from all the way back from FIVE DAYS AGO where Patrick Reusse from the Minneapolis Star Tribune called Rose the game’s greatest hitter - so your claim nobody says that is demonstrably false.
