Over the course of his career,
Brian Giles
made 7,836 plate appearances.
Giles was worth 48.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 27.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.4 WAR becomes
48.4 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 27.4 WAA becomes 29.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Giles 99.0 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).
Brian Giles has a Hall Rating of 98,
meaning he will not be in the Hall of Stats when eligible—but he will be close.
