Average players will be well above replacement level. “come up with a baseline for a random player who’d fill in and perform completely average”

Hosmer and Francoeur will at least steal some bases here and there that Moose wouldn't. He's not bad, he's just not good.   @jim fetterolf oh, and below average on baserunning for Moose because he’s not going to create a lot of runs with his legs.

I could have gone average there but just wasn't going to go that far.   @jim fetterolf True, Moose looked alright there last year, but I’m going off the scouting through the minors that suggests he may not be much of a fielder.

I'ld give him an average on both.   Gordon and Hoz should both probably walk more this year, Billy less if Moose is hitting. Not a bad top six of the line-up. Six position players over 2 WAR will make a competitive team. Only disagreement would be on Moustakas, whose defense was solid last year and isn’t a bad base runner.
