Stubbs posted a 4.0 WAR in 2010 and a 2.5 WAR in 2011.
Curious if the majority thinks Stubbs will get better/worse/be the same next year.
2.71 or better -> improvement
2.3 -2.7 essentially the same as this past year
below 2.3 -> he's toast

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
I think his defense will continue to hold his WAR up, while I also give him the benefit of the doubt that he won't K more than 30% next year. If he gets worse, it will be just impossible to watch.
2015 Rotation: Under Construction
Stubbs has averaged about a 3.70 WAR per 162 games played, and that's not inflated by a huge defensive rating. I would be shocked if he WAR'd below 3.0 again this year.
A completely non-statistical analysis of Stubbs:
He just doesn't seem To be very bright. He reminds me of that kid in school who can follow directions fine, but can never figure anything out without those directions.
Call it instincts, or acumen, or smarts, but he just seems to be lacking them.
Nothing to back it up, but just a feeling I get when I watch him play.
I voted he stays the same as last year.

Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
