Fan Rating
Rate Dick Burns — All-Time
2 seasons · peak 14.5 in 1884
VAL (Value Above League) measures each MLB season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.
5.5 career wins over 2 seasons · 1 win = 2.61 VAL
Best season · 1884 · +5.5 wins
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a MLB player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins, counted from pitcher decisions, which can miss a few games; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
