It might be considered treason to even say that.

Hmm... I would have thought that Navarro had put up more wins than that.

That was a steal if he continues to play at his current level, or – God help Ells’ SB totals – gets better.

For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09

WAR for catchers ignores defense...

…according to this article

So if you think Navarro plays good D you could argue for a slight bump that makes it pretty much a wash already, and Navarro is much younger than Hall/Hendrickson, so it’s likely to swing in his favor going forward. Also, remember how bad his first half 2007 was.
