Ian Desmond had a pretty dang good year. He had a terrible April, a bananas crazy good May and June, a pretty good July and then a terrible August and September. But for the year it was pretty dang good! All that while playing reasonable CF despite a career as a SS. It was a weird signing when it happened, but it turned out to be a solid one.
