Season 55 Awards Voting

by bruinsfan911 7:40 PM 0 comments

 As I mentioned on the World Chat, I have recently discovered a way to account for Positional Adjustments as well as Park Factors in my Wins Above Replacement calculations that I use for both the Hall of Fame blog posts and the end of year awards. Due to the fact that I made this discovery mid-season, I have started going back over the past couple of seasons and correcting the calculations for the purposes of an All-Time WAR document that I'm putting together, but these are going to be the first of the new calculations that I publish so let me know what you think. 

 If you have a specific player that you are interested in seeing the calculation for let me know via TC or World Chat and I'll add them into the category you would have expected to see them as an "Honorable Mention" for comparison purposes. Hopefully this helps you make your choices for the most deserving winners, and without further preamble here are this season's results: 

{Editor's Note: I really like the idea of voting for our own award winners next year...I will do a follow up post with a case study of this concept using this year's data}
