Over the course of his career,
Dave Birdsall
made 246 plate appearances.
Birdsall
was worth
-0.1 Wins Above Replacement
and -0.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.1 WAR becomes
0.2 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Birdsall 0.2 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).
Dave Birdsall has a Hall Rating of
0,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
