My Take
What strikes me about Ian Desmond is the durability of his career: eleven seasons in the majors with the Nationals, Rangers and Rockies is no small feat. Three Silver Slugger awards and two All-Star nods tell me he was a genuinely productive bat at shortstop, a position where offense is a bonus. At 190 cm he had the frame for the long ball and the versatility to slide out to the outfield later on. I find that kind of positional flexibility underrated. He's clearly the type of player who stuck around because he kept finding ways to stay useful, which I respect.
