They also don’t appear to be comparing apples to oranges.

Looks like he was also linked to the Yankees at one point. Appears to be a 3B. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmzo...

Here’s how the rest of the current ballot fares. Below 80 is the cutoff. If someone wanted to vote in Beuhrle I wouldn’t complain too loudly.

It would bump his score up to 433.

I’ve historically not bothered to add in Babe Ruth’s pitcher WAR. It might even take him down a notch. I guess I probably should if I combine Ohtani’s though.

No, it’s on the career level. Truthfully, doing it on an individual season level would have been beyond my technical capabilities. But it’s the same reasoning. Finding what the player did on average in his career per 150 games, and giving greater weight to a higher average.

So it highlights guys with a high WAR/game total, but then balances that out a bit with the seasons multiplier. David Wright is a good example.

Posted something wrong before. For batters it’s career WAR per games played x 150 (or 250 IP for pitchers) multiplied by 150 game “seasons” (career games/150).

Except WAR/150 above 2, 5, and 8 gets extra weight. So if WAR/150 is 10, it gets weighted as 10+8+5+2=25.

I’m just assuming these people will get more believable names when the script gets a second draft.

My first thought is it would hurt players because teams wouldn’t be able to spread out dollars over more years to reduce AAV. But it could depend on what happens with the CBT or a hard cap.
