Over the course of his career,
Lu Blue
made 7,223 plate appearances.
Blue
was worth
37.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 10.8 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.5 WAR becomes
38.4 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 10.8 WAA becomes 13.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blue 62.3 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).
Lu Blue has a Hall Rating of
59,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
