Over the course of his career,
Brian Giles
made 7,836 plate appearances.
Giles
was worth
51.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 27.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 51.3 WAR becomes
51.3 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 27.6 WAA becomes 30.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Giles 105.5 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).
Brian Giles has a Hall Rating of
99,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
