That comes to -0.0 dbWAR — -0.3 runs with the bat, +0.0 on the bases, +0.0 for the position he plays, against replacement level.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
