McCutchen Monday: WAR what is it good for?

Andrew McCutchen is currently sitting 4th in the National League in terms of WAR.  Could Cutch repeat his MVP performance?  Well, it's very possible as he is already sitting at a career high .974 OPS entering July 24th.

My latest Cutch insert is from 2014 Topps and discusses Andrew's WAR stat from last season when Mike Trout was the only position to post a higher WAR than Cutch.

The above card was won for $1.49 delivered and gets me even closer as I continue my pursuit of 500 unique Andrew McCutchen cards. 

Keep your eyes on this blog as I approach that magic number because there will be a contest. 

McCutchen Monday: Sabremetric variant

Since Andrew McCutchen has become a national star, he is getting more and more variants in every one of Topps products.  We already have the Zoltan variant I showed off back in May.  In series 2, Topps released a sabremetric variant for the Series 1 card.

You can see the difference on the backs below.

It's nice to see Topps evolve with the times and including more of these analytical stats on the back of cards.
The front of the card features the same base image from Flagship Series 1.
