WAR, What Is It Good For? Ranking Free Agents

There are many ways to evaluate free agents, but for this exercise we decided to let the numbers speak for themselves. What follows is a list of the top 50 free agents this offseason, as ranked by their wins above replacement over the last three years. In order to give more credit to recent seasons, we ranked them by weighted WAR, with 2014 given three times as much weight as 2012, and 2013 getting twice as much. The weighted WAR you see listed below is the sum of that calculation.
