Win shares...what are they and how do you calculate them?

[/ QUOTE ]

win shares are a bill james thing that's supposed to determine just how many wins a player "contributes" to his team. i have no idea how they're calculated (it's not listed in the handbook), but i do know that the players on a team's win shares should equal the team's wins*3. using a-rod as an example, his win shares go 30...23...37...37...35...32...30. i think you can assume from that his value to texas is greater than to NY, but that goes w/o saying.

personally, i prefer Runs Created per Game (or per 27 outs), but that's me
