You are right the position is stacked and I agree he has not lived up to his contract
But amongst all MLB shortstops
#1 in Home Runs with 16
#1 in RBI with 54
#1 in Runs with 46
# 3 total bases with 134
#6 in WAR at 2.4

So his batting average sucks but

So position might be stack but offense wise he is producing compared to his Shortstop peers
And defensively he is still solid

And more importantly his lousy contract looks better then some of the other Shortstops that got monster contracts also
