Over the course of his career,
Melky Cabrera
made 7,527 plate appearances.
Cabrera
was worth
20.7 Wins Above Replacement
and -4.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.7 WAR becomes
20.7 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 8.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cabrera 35.8 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).
Melky Cabrera has a Hall Rating of
34,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
