Over the course of his career,
Joe Blanton
pitched 1,767 innings
and made 261 plate appearances.
Blanton
was worth
11.7 Wins Above Replacement
(12.6 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter)
and -3.6 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.7 WAR becomes
12.3 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 -3.6 WAA becomes 5.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blanton 22.7 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 Blanton has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
