Happy Thanksgiving to those of you on the other side of the border.
We have used this idea for the last couple of years. The idea is to go through some of the top free agents,Dansby Swanson is number 8 on FanGraphs’ list and #3 onHe had a very good season to go into free agency with, hitting .277/.329/.447,0 and he was good defensively. Outs Above Average had him at a +21, the best number for a shortstop by far. Second best was Francisco Lindor 13. He’s always been a good defensive SS, but this year might be a blip.
He played in all 162 games and played 160 in 2021. He has been durable. And he set a career-high in stolen bases, with 18 . Dansby has been an average bat in his seven years in the MLB, but average bat with good defensive numbers at short gives you a valuable player. Baseball Reference has him at a 5.7 WAR this year. FanGraphs at 6.4. But those numbers were career highs.Swanson’s walk year didn’t look like any season he’d had before, as he played elite defense at short for the first time ever, made more hard contact than ever, and posted the worst walk rate of his career.
