Over the course of his career,
Ed Sweeney
made 2,128 plate appearances.
Sweeney
was worth
4.3 Wins Above Replacement
and -4.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.3 WAR becomes
5.2 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 -4.2 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sweeney 5.9 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 Sweeney has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
