Season NUT is one number for production against that season's league average: 0.0 is average, and defense is left out. The roster lists every player who reached the 2003 qualifying bar (100 plate appearances or 25 innings). Team NUT adds those players up. A player traded during the season appears once, with his full-season line, under the club MLB lists him with. Each season is measured against its own league, so a 2003 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2003 Boston Red Sox went 95-67, the 3rd-best record of 14 clubs in the AL. Their team NUT of +26.8 ranked #1 of 30 clubs that season and #9 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +18.7 from the hitters, +8.1 from the pitchers.
