Over the course of his career,
Jeff Francis
pitched 1,291 innings
and made 386 plate appearances.
Francis
was worth
9.6 Wins Above Replacement
(10.2 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and -1.0 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.6 WAR becomes
9.4 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 -1.0 WAA becomes 4.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Francis 18.2 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).
Jeff Francis has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
