Two numbers per player, both his own. The grade is a 20 to 80 scouting number built from named traits at his position, each adjusted for the opponents he faced, with the weights chosen by how well the traits predict a player's own next season. Wins above replacement is what his credited plays were worth, converted to wins with the leverage of the games he played in.
