Next up is the infield. I’m going to list Adam Frazier, John Jaso and Jose Osuna with the outfield, don’t forget that they also played in the infield, although only a little for Jaso and Osuna.

Josh Bell: 159 games (141 starts), 108 wRC+, 0.8 fWAR
Josh Harrison: 128 games (122 starts), 104 wRC+, 2.6 fWAR
Jordy Mercer: 145 games (143 starts), 88 wRC+, 1.4 fWAR
David Freese: 130 games (119 starts), 100 wRC+, 1.6 fWAR
Max Moroff: 56 games (13 starts), 70 wRC+, 0.5 fWAR
Sean Rodriguez: 39 games (24 starts), 43 wRC+, -0.4 fWAR
Gift Ngoepe: 28 games (13 starts), 71 wRC+, 0.0 fWAR
Alen Hanson: 37 games (9 starts), 24 wRC+, -0.3 fWAR
Phil Gosselin: 28 games (7 starts), -5 wRC+*, -0.6 fWAR
Chris Bostick: 24 games (4 starts), 116 wRC+, 0.2 fWAR

* I didn’t even know a negative wRC+ was possible.
