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 2012 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 2012 club and a 2025 club sit on one scale.
The 2012 St. Louis Cardinals went 88-74, the 5th-best record of 16 clubs in the NL. Their team NUT of +19.0 ranked #1 of 30 clubs that season and #81 of 3,085 club seasons since 1876: +12.0 from the hitters, +7.0 from the pitchers.
