Over the course of his career,
Al Simmons
made 9,518 plate appearances.
Simmons was worth 64.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 34.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 64.3 WAR becomes
66.0 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 34.7 WAA becomes 38.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Simmons 131.4 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).
Al Simmons has a Hall Rating of 130,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
