Gehringer
was worth
84.7 Wins Above Replacement
and 48.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 84.7 WAR becomes
86.9 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 48.6 WAA becomes 51.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gehringer 179.2 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
