Walker put up -2.1 WAR on defense. If they had just used him as a DH, he would already be a 2 WAR player.

Actually the positional adjustment for DH adds quite a bit of negative value(-7-10 runs vs RF), but his fielding value would be 0, rather than -16 or whatever.

So his dWAR would be about -1.3 rather than -2.1. With his oWAR at 1.6, he’d be just above 0 this past year.
