The miracle of Hal Lanier

Once again courtesy of baseball-reference.com's Play Index:

There are 143 player seasons in baseball history in which a player has had OPS+ of 60 or less and played in 140 games or more.  Five of those belong to Hal Lanier, and they are consecutive:

1965 - 159 games, OPS+ 52
1966 - 149 games, OPS+ 49
1967 - 151 games, OPS+ 42
1968 - 151 games, OPS+ 38
1969 - 150 games, OPS+ 46

For this stretch, he put up .221/.247/.265 numbers in 760 games, with offensive WAR in the period of -6.2.  Now, that said, his defensive WAR in the same period was +11.4.  His San Francisco Giants were second every one of these seasons, but never won fewer than 88 games (and won 90 or more four of the five years).
