In baseball, WAA is a measurement of wins above the average player and is actually a far better measurement for Hall of Fame worthiness. Even better is a variant, peak WAA, is a mathematical measure of how far above average players a player reached.

WAA helps you compare between those with long careers that weren't great players and those who were truly great players who had short careers. The author needs a WAA for this comparison, not WAR.
