wSB is the estimated number of runs a player contributes by stealing bases as compared to the average player.

1	wsb(year, SB, CS, lgwSB, single, bb, hbp, ibb)

`year`	Season
`SB`	Stolen Bases
`CS`	Caught Stealing
`lgwSB`	League wSB
`single`	Singles
`bb`	Walks
`hbp`	Hit By Pitches
`ibb`	Intentional Walks

wSB is useful because it attaches a value to a player's SB count

Returns a value equal to (SB * runSB) + (CS * runCS) - (lgwSB * (single + bb + hbp - ibb))

        year)]
    runCS <- linearWeights$runCS[which(linearWeights$Season == 
        year)]
    wsb <- (SB * runSB) + (CS * runCS) - (lgwSB * (single + bb + 
        hbp - ibb))
