I watched him play first base. He was spectacular. He changed opposing manager strategy. So how is it that his glove work was worth only a half a win over a replacement first baseman?

Stats and metrics favor different players. Rick Reuschel had a high WAR, yet no movement.
Hernandez had a better OPS+ and was a better defender than Ebbets product Hodges.
