Your "component" PLSD and correlation to JOKE made me actually chuckle Mojo.  : -)   HEH.  
I think your KIDPT should be a component of team CNDRLLA, like BSR is for WAR.
FANBUZ would be a component stat under INFLAT, where a team's payroll expands, creating an EFFSALARY stat on each player card.  A 130 FANBUZ index would be next to a SALARY column of $18M and an EFFSALARY column of $16M.  Teams that generate more cash pay, in effect, lower salaries.
............
The punch line here is that if a few of these stats actually were on Fangraphs, the discussion would indeed change radically.  The sheer dogma and self-assurance with which people applied WAR (only) to this trade "analysis" was mind-blowing.
Jaso had a higher WAR than Morse last year.  That easy, is it, guys!
