Over the course of his career,
Julio Franco
made 9,731 plate appearances.
Franco was worth 39.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 12.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 39.7 WAR becomes
40.2 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 12.3 WAA becomes 18.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Franco 71.0 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).
Julio Franco has a Hall Rating of 70,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
