Avi couldn't repeat or stay healthy... and Eaton put up one fluke season largely based on outfield assists from RF... but that position looks a heck of a lot better (comparatively) than second base at least, as well as LF. Hahn has singled handedly managed to ruin it ever since the rebuild kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn has singled handedly managed to ruin it ever since the rebuild kicked off. Eaton also had the highest position player fWAR in 2015, though in CF. There were other LFers who played well, but in eras where Lemon (1977-1981), Fisk (1982-1990) and Thomas (1991-2000) were consistent top players. I thought Abreu would have had a couple more seasons, but 1B depresses your value with the defensive ding you get at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
