WHO IS Grady Sizemore?

After he appeared on the cover of Spirts Illustrated in his fourth season, Indians’ general manager Mark Shapiro called Sizemore “without a doubt one of the greatest players of our generation”. Well, through his first five seasons, Sizemore was thrilling: he averaged 96 runs, 34 doubles, 22 homers, and 23 steals, while slugging nearly .500 for the Indians. Sizemore was an All-Star three times and won two Gold Gloves in his first four full seasons. But two serious knee injuries (one to each leg) sidelined Grady and hampered his trajectory to superstardom. He never played a full season after the age of 25, and retired when he was 32 years old.

— Explanation of Advanced Statistics —

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:

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

A player’s best three seasons according to his Win Shares. A measure of a player’s SHORT PEAK.

A player’s Win Shares per season (calculated for 162 games).
