2) average win shares in the top 3 seasons
3) average win shares of best 5 consecutive seasons
4) average win shares per 162 games (per 43 starts for pitchers)

Here is a link to the excert...

Interesting. Had no idea what harmonic mean was so I looked it up... and I still have no idea.

Anyhow, I don't think I could do this. I think I'd have to be better with the code in order to find the 5 best consecutive seasons.
I seem to have more limitations than OOTPs financial settings. I tried to do something else and totally and miserably failed with it... I spent about 2 weeks tinkering and never got past step 1.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
