Ideally, there would be a cap of around 6500 PA and 1460 IP or so. The Rockies and Mariners must have a bunch of players that simply kept piling up PA and IP (I’d guess).
On the other end, you simply give everyone 0 WAR for any shortfall in PA or IP (i.e., no change to current process). Presumably, the Padres not only had virtually no talent, but was not even able to field a complete team. 55/162 = .340 win%.
I like this. I’d also like to see something similar based on first ML team. I’m not surprised the Marlins were low, they acquired minor league talent with their ML successes.
