Major League Equivalencies
MLEs (Major League Equivalencies) by Eric Chalek. MLEs attempt to estimate the performance of this one player if he was dropped into the existing AL/NL framework. It does not estimate what an entire integrated league would look like. That is a much different project that would require simulating expansion of the league to account for all the additional talent.
Note: Eric provides both batting and pitching MLEs for Vidal Lopéz. However, his system assumes that Lopéz would have been forced to choose one path and not have an entire career as a two-way player. Therefore, the batting and pitching MLEs should not be combined.
