Oh god, I've been wanting to do this.
Glad to see Tango pointed out a shortcoming in the comments. Will be interesting to see if we can use this.
And will be interesting to see which Hall of Famers will have negative WAA.

Higher baselines are good for valuing rate of production over quantity of production.
Not sure there’s anything special about average, though.
Agreed
Rather see wins above greatness or wins above MVP.

Because it captures the quality and quantity for HoF purposes…
