Over the course of his career,
Johnny Damon
made 10,917 plate appearances.
Damon
was worth
56.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 19.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 56.5 WAR becomes
56.6 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 19.6 WAA becomes 22.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Damon 96.6 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).
Johnny Damon has a Hall Rating of
91,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
