WADR - Wins Above Defensive Replacement

First of all, welcome to fake baseball stats. We are dedicated to tireless statistical research in our quest to turn the game of baseball into a simple mathematical equation. It will happen someday...not turning baseball into a simple mathematical equation...but robots taking over the world.

WADR (Wins Above Defensive Replacement) was developed by Stubby Clapp and is known the world over as the best defensive replacement valuation tool, ever. The formula is as follows...

((G/GS)+(UZR+Rtot+RF/9))-(Stubby Clapp's 1.000 career fielding percentage)

2010's best defensive replacements, based on WADR:

Nate Schierholz - SF - 9.1 WADR

Nick Punto - MIN - 7.7 WADR

Reggie Willits - LAA - 7.0 WADR

Ramon Santiago - DET - 6.3 WADR

Reed Johnson - LAD - 4.2 WADR

Ramiro Pena - NYY - 3.4 WADR

Ryan Langerhans - SEA - 2.8 WADR

Matt Tolbert - MIN - 2.2 WADR

Adam Kennedy - WAS - 1.3 WADR

It is apparent that the Twins' scouting department has done a great job over the years, as they are the only team with two players on the 2010 WADR leaderboard. Nate Schierholz chimes in with an impressive 9.1 WADR, just one point shy of the all-time single season mark held by Luis Polonia in 1996 (10.1 WADR).
