Over the course of his career,
Mike Golden
made 420 plate appearances
and pitched 393 innings.
Golden
was worth
-4.5 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.9 as a hitter and -2.6 as a pitcher)
and -8.3 Wins Above Average
(-2.8 as a hitter and -5.5 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -4.5 WAR becomes
-7.5 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 -8.3 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Golden -7.5 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).
Mike Golden has a Hall Rating of
-7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
