No, you absolutely can compare the two. The whole point of these numbers is that it lets us compare two players and judge their relative impact. The difference between Morales and Encarnacion is, according to Fangraphs, something like 13 runs or so or as BR would put it, about 1.2 wins.
Ok then we will compare the WAR numbers only and sorry I was a little sloppy with my oWAR stat earlier on.
Edwin BR WAR
2016 3.8 (26th overall in the league)
2017 2.8 (49th)
2018 0.7 (80th)
Morales
2016 1.0 (109th)
2017 -0.2 (244th)
2018 -0.6 (371th)
There's a good chance EE's WAR at seasons end is up around 2, it wont be the case for Morales, So, no matter how you look at it the signing was a big mistake.
