Hmm. I hear what everyone is saying here and certainly defense and base running are important factors. But with an OPS+ of 158, something feels very wrong here. Is it really possible for defense and base running to counteract what is still a very fine offensive season to this extreme extent?
Something isn't adding up here, I think.
A drop to 1.2 WAR I buy, maybe. A drop to -0.2, with this many quality plate appearances, no, I'm not sold.
