Rafael was pretty much only great at one thing: Not hitting. Don’t take that away from him because of some “accounting” gltich that will allow you to slug in Doug freaking Strange.

And to answer your next question, Sammy Khalifa is 17th. Good lord, the Pirates have had some real banjo-hitting SS’s in their history.
Heck, Enrique Wilson occupies the 5th worst spot — even worse than Belliard, Khalifa, adjusting for era — with a 43 wRC+.

Your system, sir, is flawed.
