Having catcher eligibility this year makes him even more attractive. I'd be more inclined to trade him if I thought he would lose that part of the profile after this year than if I thought he'd keep it.

So I raise for you the "Schwarber Conundrum" for your amusement and hopefully, my education.
I have been terrible in PCL. Eleventh place this past year.
Schwarber 15:2 represents my best player.
I have a ton of rookie pitchers, two closers (Zeigler / Familia), and a few okay hitters.
The conundrum then is do I cut to the bone in April, but keep Schwarber and try to build around him. Or offer him around and see if I can get a package of three or four solid keepers to build on.

He popped right up for me and I posted a comment for him.

Can we have a Doubt Wars X? Anything that attempts to factor in defense I'd love to play.

Peter,
For hitting you probably want PA not just AB. Rather than OPS, break it into two categories. OBP and ISO. It's too bad there isn't a regularly recorded stat for taking the extra base minus baserunner kills because that would be nice to add to SB-CS.
For pitching I'd also add K-BB. If K, BB, and HR are the non-defense related things pitchers can control (I'm not totally sold on that) I would make sure you count K and BB somehow.
A RF type stat might be the best type of thing you can measure. PO+Assists. The question is whether you want to use it as a ratio to defensive innings or not - using innings makes the stat look closer than it is; not using them reward bad defenders who play a lot versus great defenders who don't play much. Errors are very subjective, so I would avoid using them.

Fangraphs has one that's easy to access called Defensive Runs Above Average(Fielding Runs + Positional Adjustment). Istbasemen don't fare well in that stat so it would counter their advantage they have in the other defense category that involves fielding percentage and chances.
Just throwing that out there.
