Re: Barfield to the Indians...
Yeah, but it's a good way to quickly look at a player's overall contributions (including defense). Like all baseball stats, it doesn't stand alone.
And in this context, it let's us see why SD may go after Giles (i.e. irrationally praying for a return to 2005's contribution level).
I didn't mean to say "oh, his win shares were higher, he's better". I said "last year they achieved about the same" which is true.
