Fans criticize WAR (Wins Above Replacement) because it takes in theoretical rather than actual wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Player won-lost records bridge the gap between these two schools of thought, giving credit to all players for what they do--without credit or blame for teammates'' performance--and measuring contributions to actual team wins and losses. The result is a statistic of player value that quantifies all aspects of individual performance, allowing for robust comparisons between players across different positions and different seasons. Using play-by-play data, this book examines players'' won-lost records in Major League Baseball from 1930 through 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040423936343,"sku":"9781476670249","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476670249.jpg?v=1750946701","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/player-wonlost-records-in-baseball-9781476670249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
