Over the course of his career,
Earl Williams
made 3,431 plate appearances.
Williams
was worth
7.8 Wins Above Replacement
and -3.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.8 WAR becomes
9.0 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 -3.5 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 14.6 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).
Earl Williams has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
