For what it's worth, Rasaretnam ranks Griese 26th (C4), 24th (C7), and 17th (C10).

I am not familiar with Rasaretnam and what those rankings and the C4 and C7 bit means. Could you please let us know what that information signifies? Thanks in advance.

Something seems to have happened with the recent posts at this site, so will repost.

C4, C7, and C10 are his shorthand for "best 4," "best 7," and "best 10" seasons.

Was also wondering if his rankings site could be archived somewhere as Rasaretnam may have passed away. JWL posted this site:

which suggests he may have done so.

Just the fact that it's being used across all positions has me suspicious -- even baseball WAR doesn't work very well across positions, for example short-changing catchers in comparison.

Yeah the "A" in AV literally stands for approximate.
