It was recently pointed out to me that the current method of WAR calculations could be improved yet again by calculating home and away splits differently, which I agree with, but I have not yet figured out a way to do that efficiently. As a result, the totals below are indeed position and park adjusted but the park adjustment is entirely related to their home park which may result in some extremes on either end...but I still believe this is the most accurate calculation to date. However, if there's a close contest between someone in an extreme park and someone in a neutral park I will factor that into my voting and make note of it below. Let's see how the ballot looks this season:
