Over the course of his career,
Ed Farmer
pitched 624 innings
and made 53 plate appearances.
Farmer
was worth
-0.6 Wins Above Replacement
(0.0 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and -6.3 Wins Above Average
(-5.7 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.6 WAR becomes
-1.0 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 -6.3 WAA becomes 2.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Farmer 3.1 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 Farmer has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
