Yup. Makes more sense now.
Holy crap, how did he get SOOOO bad?!
I was having a hard time seeing how defense could be so bad that it would fully negate such solid hitting. Well, I guess I just wasn't thinking creatively enough about just how bad a defender could be. I can see now that there can be a extreme bad enough to swing WAR all the way to the dark side even for a 158 OPS+ player.
Now, maybe if he could play first base instead.
