WAR in particular gives no real credit for being a versatile defender, unless one is a really good defender. Tovar played a lot of third base, outfield and some in the middle infield, and while he wasn't great, he wasn't an embarrassment. I think managers really appreciate that more than the stats can show. Tovar also never walked much and didn't have great power, so his OBP and slug ing weren't very impressive.

Like Tovar, Arraez is valuable for his offense and adds value in a manager's mind by being able to take the field and not embarrass himself at multiple positions.  

Tovar had 7 of his 10 best years with the Twins including 13 triples and 36 doubles one years and 54 stolen bases that same year.

He also recieved MVP votes for 5 of those years; if Gordon can do that, his record will speak for itself.
