Over the course of his career,
Benito Santiago
made 7,516 plate appearances.
Santiago
was worth
27.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 3.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.5 WAR becomes
33.2 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 3.5 WAA becomes 9.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Santiago 50.5 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).
Benito Santiago has a Hall Rating of
47,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
