You should have specified $/WAR of just shortstops in your original post if that's what you were looking at (you didn't). Also, you are only considering guys who met the minimum number of games. For a list like that to have any basis, you either have to consider all shortstops regardless of games played, or you'd have to do something like scale all shortstops to the same number of at-bats.

Blocked shots are definitely projectable. +/- on good teams is fairly easy, but beyond that it can be rough. All it takes is a coach on a below average team juggling a line and you can go from great to average. In a dynasty setting, it's hard to predict especially beyond the one year. I kind of like that extra dimension though, at least in a limited amount.
-
Not even close. In fact, on average he's probably pretty close to break even for free agent aged players over the last 2 years.
-
Posters emerging from under rocks is part of the problem...
-
+/- is difficult to predict year to year. I can say though that I certainly didn't ignore it last year.

Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Shooting Percentage (SH%), Hits (HIT), Blocks (BLK)

It seems fairly predictable. I personally like it. It adds more depth to the strategy, and tends to add a little more value in general to defensemen.
-
I would be so happy if we get Martin this off-season, and move Navarro to backup catcher / DH vs lefties. Kill two birds with one stone.
-
We need to start fining our players when they run to first in fair territory on tappers to the right side.
-
Man, Bautista is still scowling. I wonder what got him ticked off today?
-
The last two years, Jeter has put up NEGATIVE 1.2 WAR. For the privilege of seeing him do that, they paid him 29 million.
-
It would probably make more sense to move Reyes to third and Lawrie to second. Lawrie has better range, and Reyes has tons of arm. Hell, we could probably even swap Lawrie and Reyes. He seems to have the range to handle short no problem (at least for the next few years).
-
I have to get my ass in gear and get a list going. I'm not even sure yet whether to go for it this year, or go for youth.
-
My sniffer detects a slight bias! It WOULD be interesting to see where they'd go if this wasn't a keeper league though.
-
lmao!
-
They'll probably drop the appeal immediately after the game on Saturday.
-
I might take it if Headley was under contract for next year too, but for a 2 month rental of a player who I believe wasn't healthy, that seems steep.
-
One missed, one hit as well (and I doubt Stroman was aiming for the head). I think you only punish based on the intent. Both were clearly intentional, so punish both or punish neither. If the chirping after by Stroman was initiated by him, then tack an extra few on. For all we know, he was responding to something someone was yelling from the Orioles bench (although he shouldn't have regardless).
-
If Stroman gets 6 games for that, I hope the guy who hit Bautista does too. Both were intent.

New turf and more rest for Reyes in 2015
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Take a look at Hanley Ramirez (worse than Reyes defensively), and watch what kind of contract he gets this off-season... As for not winning with him at SS, the Yankees had Jeter there for years. What matters overall is how much value he produces, not whether it comes from offense or defense. -
I actually think that might have been intentional by Stroman. Nice to see some fire under the boys, although if he does do that with intent he needs to make damn sure he keeps the ball below the head.

New turf and more rest for Reyes in 2015
Abomination replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Reyes IS playing with a sore hamstring, and it's been a problem for quite a while apparently. I don't know if you've ever pulled a hamstring, but starting and stopping fast really sucks. Anyhow, he's putting up 2.5 WAR even with the lack of defense and drop from base running. He's not even close to this team's biggest problem. Of course it would be nice if he was making closer to 15M per for the next few years instead of 22M, but it's not like he's pulling a Vernon Wells or Ryan Howard. I also believe that the defensive ratings don't properly account for the turf. That'll hopefully change next year with the full rollout of mlbam. As for Saki, he's rated as positive defense, just not as good as Goins. For a final musing, what the hell has happened to Escobar's defense this year??? -
I would actually prefer Melky. He's 4 years younger at age ranges where it starts to really matter, and frankly overall is the better player imo. I wouldn't expect Cruz to have another year like he is this year.
-
Goins got off pretty easy lol
-
The Rays never seem to draw very well, so I don't think it's a surprise. I agree that it's a bit disappointing though.
