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 2004 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 2004 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2004 St. Louis Cardinals went 105-57, the best record of 16 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of +17.5 ranked #3 of 30 clubs that season and #120 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +13.1 from the hitters, +4.5 from the pitchers.
