It’s essentially an estimated number of wins a player led their team to. So without Smart we lose 6 more games according to the stats/metrics.

Interesting stat! I kinda feel for the players that have WS values below zero.  Like, the team could have won this many more games with out your help, bud.

Bill James developed his system such that one win is equivalent to three Win Shares. My system deviates from James's system in three key ways:

In James's system, one win is equivalent to three Win Shares. In my system, one win is equivalent to one Win Share.

James made team Win Shares directly proportional to team wins. In his system, a baseball team that wins 80 games will have exactly 240 Win Shares, a baseball team that wins 90 games will have exactly 270 Win Shares, etc. In my system, a basketball team that wins 25 games will have about 25 Win Shares, give or take.

James did not allow for the possibility of negative Win Shares. In his system, the fewest number of Win Shares a player can have is zero. In my system, a player can have negative Win Shares. I justify this by thinking about it in the following way: a player with negative Win Shares was so poor that he essentially took away wins that his teammates had generated.

Very cool 82. Thank you.
