okay, except ballplayers are not just "strat-o-matic cards with arms and legs." they do occasionally do strategic things like try to hit the ball in the air with a runner on third, hit behind the runners, etc. I'm not saying that sabermetrics are pointless...they do tell you a lot about the quality of a player's performance over the long haul... but they don't completely define a player. Unless the player is totally clueless and one-dimensional in his approach, like some are.

They're not here... Yet. Er, perhaps I've said too much.

They're not here. Different versions of WAR/WARP can be found at fangraphs.com, baseballprojection.com, or baseballprospectus.com. FIP can be found at fangraphs.

I don't see FIP or WAR on pitcher pages. It's not clear where you find those stats
