Los Angeles Dodger Win Shares - 2nd Baseman

Review of Win shares by Rob Neyer.
Los Angeles Dodger 1st Baseman Win Shares

Below are the 2nd baseman. This is not the definitive number. Many of these players played some games at different positions during the same year. Jim Lefebvre played quite a few games at 3rd base in 1966 but I assigned them 2nd base if they played the majority of games at the position during the year. Jim Gilliam was very tough, but he was the primary 2nd baseman in the early 60's even though he played everywhere. Some 2nd baseman you won't see at all in the complete list as I didn't bother to add up the win shares for players like Paul Popovich, Nate Oliver, Bart Shirley, Schofield and other bit players.
Davey Lopes dominates the top list but his replacement managed to beat him with his peak season in 1986. I doubt many here ever saw Charlie Neal play but he was a force at 2nd base when the team 1st moved to Los Angeles. If you ever get to see the 1959 World Series you will see he played a prominent part in the World Championship as he led the team with an 1.033 OPS during the world series and tied with Wally Moon for the most win shares during the season(25).
