They didn't. He was at 67.6 fWAR despite a 90 wRC+ for his career. His defensive adjustment is 375.3, the best ever. Number two was Brooks Robinson.
Interestingly, David Ortiz rates as the 9th worst defensive player from cumulative defensive metrics ever, despite playing the vast majority of his career as a DH. That is some truly amazing butchery. |

That's basically saying that his defense alone was worth 37.5 WAR over the course of his career. I'd say that's pretty fair. I think your argument would be better if focused on someone whose contributions aren't yet quantified as well, even with increasing focus on framing, and that's Yadi.

I think it's shorting him in that it doesn't quantify how much his back flips demoralized opponents.

How can some of you guys forget about Hornsby? 2nd highest career BA in baseball. 3X BA >.400, 6 batting titles and so on Stan the Man, Gibson, Hornsby are locks to me. Those 11 years are hard to overlook for the 4th spot. But I'd be good with Ozzie or Brock too.

He seems to have matured a little bit. Went the longest of his short career. His stuff is filthy.

I wonder how long this level of pitching can realistically sustain. Scoring 4 runs a game could win 105 games at this rate.

It's just an excellent pitching staff. Looking back, it's amazing that we once won 105 games with Carpenter, Morris, Woody Williams, Marquis, and Suppan as the staff. |
