Over the course of his career,
Ed Durham
pitched 640 innings
and made 224 plate appearances.
Durham
was worth
5.7 Wins Above Replacement
(7.3 as a pitcher and -1.7 as a hitter)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(0.9 as a pitcher and -1.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.7 WAR becomes
6.2 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the -0.7 WAA becomes 2.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Durham 9.8 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Ed Durham has a Hall Rating of
9,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
