Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

JAWS (Jaffe WAR Score system) was developed by sabermetrician Jay Jaffe as a means to measure a player's Hall of Fame worthiness. A player's JAWS is their career WAR averaged with their 7-year peak WAR. Note that only batting or pitching WAR are used in determining the averages at a given position. The current Hall of Famers are then grouped by position and a position average JAWS is computed.
For some positions, the averages are skewed due to a lack of players at that position, so overall HOF average hitters are added to that position's average until the total count of actual and average players matches that of the most inducted position (RF).

December 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1958 - The Philadelphia Phillies acquire infielder Sparky Anderson from the Los Angeles Dodgers for outfielder Rip Repulski and two other players. Anderson won't do much as a player, but will win three World Championships as a manager.

1994 - With negotiations to resolve the strike at a standstill, Major League owners unilaterally implement a salary cap and revenue sharing on striking players.
