Over the course of his career,
Joe Tinker
made 7,152 plate appearances.
Tinker was worth 50.4 Wins Above Replacement
and 30.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.4 WAR becomes
52.0 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 30.5 WAA becomes 30.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Tinker 103.8 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).
Joe Tinker has a Hall Rating of 102,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
