It's just a formula I made up for comparing which of any two players had a better career. It corrects for inflated numbers from being above average for a very long career without rewarding people for retiring as soon as they start to lose a step.
I call it a Simlab number. Pretty simple if WAR is already calculated. Take the square of career WAR and divide it by games played. Multiply that quantity by 1 for pitchers, 3.39 for regular position players, and 4.6 for catchers. Then throw Mariano onto the list because I felt like it.
