Review of Win shares by Rob Neyer.
My expectations were high that in 2008 that James Loney could crack the top ten 1st baseman Win Share for a season list but it didn't happen. His 2007 16 win shares was a great season in that his expected win shares given his at bats was only 10. Instead he regressed and collected only 15 win shares while garnering 150 more at bats. His expected win shares was 18 in 2008 so unlike 2007 where he over performed by 6 win shares, he underperformed in 2008 by 3 win shares. Here's to hoping he can crack the list below in 2009.

Many Dodgers played 1st and the outfield. Ron Fairly was the 1st baseman for the early part of the 60's before Wes Parker took over. Mike Marshall played many games at 1st and in the outfield. Same with Franklin Stubbs. Someday I may break out the career numbers but for now I'm lumping them into the 1st/OF category.
James Loney does crack the career win share table passing Nomar who he replaced in 2007.
