Using Steamer's projections, over the course of a full season of 600 PA, using 17.5 replacement runs and +2 positional adjustment runs, Ryan Goins projects to post .18 or 0.2 fWAR. Fun fact: That's more or less replacement level and absolutely unacceptable to have starting every day.
See, you're saying that he needs to continue his defensive play, but it's already been established that his UZR isn't a true talent level (most likely) and I'm far more comfortable using Steamer's very reasonable defensive projections of +5.3 defense.
