Over the course of his career,
Vernon Wells
made 7,212 plate appearances.
Wells
was worth
28.5 Wins Above Replacement
and 3.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 28.5 WAR becomes
28.5 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 3.3 WAA becomes 11.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wells 49.6 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).
Vernon Wells has a Hall Rating of
47,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
