I'm with Chas on this one.

-1.7 WAR for a DH reads as stupid.

Here's an easy fix:

Instead of assigning negatives for positions (1B -12???, DH -1.7???), add bonus points for more important positions.

DH starts at 0, finishes at 0.

1B starts at 0, actual results give actual numbers (speaking only to defensive WAR that is...).

Catcher, SS, and CF get +6, +12, +8 for positional value?

Just my 2 cents.

 

 

 

That would be fine.  In terms of ranking players which is what I use it for, you would end up with the same result if you added instead of subtracted.  

The key is you have to have a way of rewarding players for playing more difficult positilons.   The subtracting of -17 for a DH is not a logical flaw.  It could be argued that it's a presentation flaw though.

I think that's the issue.

It befuddles me to see a negative dWAR for a DH.

Even though it's a positional value assignment...

I would prefer the plus PV instead of negative PV.

IMO.
