I don't think Goins is in the same level of the best defensive 2B in the league ..

“WAR? I think it’s kind of a silly statistic. I don’t even know what factors are involved. I remember reading about it a while ago and seeing that you can lose points for the position you play. I don’t understand all that stuff. If I was to look at what I think helps wins games, it’s run production: RBI and runs scored. OPS is a powerful stat, and stealing bases, and defense. That’s what I would look at. It’s fun to analyze that stuff, though.”

The Arencibia's season in terms defensive was negative (between the incumbents of the same position). "Def" is set to the positional adjustment, the contribution looks positive because "the spectrum defensive or positional value"
Positional Adjustment:
C +12.5 for C
SS +7.5
2B/3B/CF +2.5 (********)
RF/LF -7.5
1B -12.5
DH -17.5
JPA vs RF/LF/1B/DH looks great.
JPA Vs the other catchers in the league looks like s***

He doesn't know the game more than us. Here are several people with sufficient capacity to write with more objectively that him.
Dingers+Ribeyes, Sabermetric, ********......No matter what.
