Not to keep on with the Dbacks talk, since I know no one else cares, but ESPN had a really interesting article about Robbie Ray and how the 3 different kinds of WAR can view players differently:

With Ray, though, it's hard to say even after it happened. By wins above replacement, he was worth a pitiful 0.7 wins last year, worse than Archie Bradley (the pitcher Ray beat out for the fifth starter's job) and Chase Anderson (the pitcher Arizona traded the previous winter to help make room for Ray). On the other hand, by wins above replacement, he was worth a robust 3.0 wins last year, tied with Cole Hamels and Marco Estrada. On a third hand, by wins above replacement, he was worth 4.8 wins last year, better than Johnny Cueto, better than Kyle Hendricks, better than all but 14 pitchers in the majors.
