Logan Forsythe may not have been considered a utility player, but it is hard not to think of him that way. When he was traded from San Diego before the 2014 season, Forsythe's first year as a Ray saw him play at least one game at Second, Short, Third, First, Left, and DH. He didn't move around because he was poor defensively, as he never had a negative Defensive bWAR year in Tampa. It sounds like quite a versatile player!
In 2015, he would have his best year in baseball with 152 Hits, 17 Home Runs while batting .281. Forsythe was tenth in the AL in bWAR that year, which was a surprise considering he never had a year like that before. He would have 20 Home Runs in 2016, but that would be his final year with Tampa, as he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers after.
With Tampa, he would have 354 Hits.
