batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Keith Hernandez's Mets/Cards WAR is 29.9 according to Bill James's power/speed formula modified for two WAR's.Hernandez WAR - Cards = 34.3Hernandez WAR - Mets = 26.5formula = [2(34.3 x 26.5)] / (34.3 + 26.5)Which combo Met might've scored higher? A higher score requires two impressive WAR scores.Thus Willie Mays (154.6 JintWAR, 1.6 NYM WAR) would score a measly 3.2 - his COMBOMet score dragged down by his lowly Met output.You don't have to add up yearly columns of WAR to play along. BBRef breaks out the WAR by team/career on each player's main page.I'm guessing, without giving this too much thought, that Hernandez would have the highest score. Wait! I just thought of Mike Piazza as I typed out that last sentence. Let's see.(goes to BBRef)Piazza Met WAR - 24.5Piazza Dodger WAR - 31.9 ComboMet WAR Score = 27.7Close, but no cigar. Keith is still the greatest ComboMet. Who can top Keith?
