FINAL GAME

WHO IS Danny Darwin?

Nuke LaLoosh-type pitcher who insisted on throwing the baseball as hard as he could before finally learning to be a pitcher mid-career. Used out of bullpen and as a starter, the Texan won 171 games in a career that could have been much more noteworthy had he received tutelage from a better pitching coach earlier.

— Explanation of Advanced Statistics —

WINS ABOVE REPLACEMANT

Wins Above Replacement is a non-standardized sabermetric statistic developed to sum up a player’s total contributions to his team. A player’s WAR value is claimed to be the number of additional wins his team has achieved above the number of expected team wins if that player were substituted with a replacement-level player:

WAR7

A player’s best seven seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called LONG PEAK.

WAR5C

A player’s best five consecutive seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called PLAYER PRIME.

WAR3

A player’s best three seasons according to his Wins Above Replacement (WAR). Also called SHORT PEAK.

WAR PER SN

A player’s Wins Above Replacement (WAR) per season (calculated for 162 games).

WIN SHARES

Advanced statistical method devised by Bill James. A Win Share represents one-third of a team win, by definition, and takes into account defense, offense, baserunning, park effects, and level of competition, era, and many other factors.

WS7

A player’s best seven seasons according to his Win Shares. A measure of LONG PEAK.

WS5C

A player’s best five consecutive seasons according to his Win Shares. A measure of a player’s PRIME.
