It is similar to WinShare in that it's meant to be a single statistic used to measure the value of a players' season/career. It has WAR at its core instead of WinShare though.
By my understanding, WinShare is supposed to represent the number of wins that can be attributed to the player. And WAR stands for Wins Above Replacement. My tvSTAT doesn't have a nice summation like that. It's like WAR with a bit of "reputation" and possible injury modification involved. I closely followed what Bill James described in
this article - although Bill James uses WinShare at his core and I used WAR. (Basically I used WAR only because it was more readily available with the data I had).
