StatsPlus seems possible, but the day OOTP updates their HTML is the day I'll have a heart attack.

Injuries have kept him off the field for a lot of his career, really. At $13M I'm not unhappy for him to move along.

You cannot find 10-6-6-6 guys either. In fact, the closest you can get by a long shot is: Roberto Lopez (RCK) - 10-7-7-7: -1.1 ZR (30 G) There were two other players who brought 10 Range to the position, but scored negative zone rating in somewhat limited play: Cernunnos Haberknuckle (POR) - 10-9-8-...

Very few shortstops get any substantial playing time in the BBA if their range is "7" or below. Those that do wind up sub-double digits: Here are the bottom four shortstop ZR of guys who had at lest 50 games at the role: Dan Corbett (JAX) - 7-7-7-6: -9.7 ZR [66 G] Scott Torres (LOU) - 8-8-9-7: -13.4...

That said, you just don't see "8" range playing many games if they don't come with high side-cars. There were, for example, no 8-8-8-8 shortstops ...
