The Net Win Shares Value Calculator for the 2006 season

Want to see if your team's outrageously paid free agent is worth his contract? The Net Win Shares Value Calculator can help. This tool uses Win Shares to compare the relative value of all major league contracts, based on 2006salaries. The background behind this method is explained in this article. Note that the calculator has been updated for 2006 salaries.

To calculate a player's Net Win Shares Value, you need just a little bit of information. Specifically, you'll need his Win Shares Above Bench (WSAB), as well as his contractual status (free agent, arbitration-eligible or not arbitration-eligible) and his salary. For salary information, we recommend the USA Today Salaries database.
