AL pitcher wins above replacement
So I have calculated wins above replacement(WAR) for pitchers using the formula in this article over at Fangraphs. Like the other data I’ve posted, this isn’t park adjusted. So the number after the player is the number of “wins” he added over a replacement player. I’ll post the top 10 starters, and top three relievers.
AL Top Starters
1. Malcolm McCartin – CHA – 8.5
2. Darrell May – NY1 – 7.1
3. Mike Lawrie – NY1 – 6.5
4. Dan Cummings – RIC – 5.7
4b. Midre Hernandez – SEA – 5.7 (If you add his NL stats)
5. Lawrence Busby – CHA – 5.525
6. Ossie Borchard – SAL – 5.522
7. Pasqual Elcano – HEL – 5.3
8. Jody DuBose – SEA – 5.0
9. Sal Veres – CHA – 4.6
10. Willie Rooney – NY1 – 4.57
Top Relievers
1. John Clayton – SEA – 2.8
2. Edgardo Carrasco – CHA – 2.3
3. Jimmy Simon – HAR – 2.0

Wondering how far off the list Ralph Cuddyer was.
Ralph was 11th at 4.49 WAR.
