Yeah if you look at his fielding numbers comparing them to his WAR on a season-by-season basis and you can see how his fielding really dropped his WAR
He was an really good RF until about '91, I'm assuming he was switched to LF due to diminishing RF skills or positional need, but he was really terrible in '92 in the field, it looks like he was probably never more than an average LF in in his best years, but his fielding dropped quickly and affected his WAR
'91 and '93 are the best examples showing how much of a drop it was
the offensive numbers are quite similar, but there is a 1.7 drop in WAR
there is also a drop of 8 in ZR. so his fielding numbers show that he was actually considered by the game to be less valuable during his better offensive seasons just because he became a defensive liability
