Season Stats through 052608
Submitted by Hot Rod Beck on May 29, 2008 - 11:26pm.
PLEASE NOTE - there was a glitch in the calculations for this set of pitching that misrepresented hits allowed. This has been corrected and subsequent season stats reflect the change.
I am introducing a new stat for this season, the Wiffle Aggregate Rating (WAR). This is basically the best attempt to construct a full picture of a Wiffler's overall contribution. It is essentially offensive contribution minus runs allowed while pitching. The actual stats used are Gross Production Average (GPA) for offense and simply runs allowed per batter faced for pitching. GPA is generally regarded as the best representation of one's offensive contribution. It is a combination of On Base Percentage (OBP) and Slugging Percentage (SLG) with an appropriate weight on OBP.

It is all calculated in the spreadsheet so it is not going away, sorry.
to contribute or not to contribute
In that my WAR average is actually negative, the new stat would indicate that I took away more from Monday's game than I provided, which is entirely accurate.
