Over the course of his career,
Ed Merrill
made 211 plate appearances.
Merrill
was worth
-0.9 Wins Above Replacement
and -1.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.9 WAR becomes
-1.1 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Merrill -1.1 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).
Ed Merrill has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
