Over the course of his career,
Lee Viau
pitched 1,442 innings
and made 638 plate appearances.
Viau
was worth
9.0 Wins Above Replacement
(11.6 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter)
and -0.6 Wins Above Average
(2.1 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.0 WAR becomes
6.3 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 -0.6 WAA becomes 4.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Viau 14.6 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).
Lee Viau has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
