Paul Swydan at FanGraphs uses a number of projections systems to try to determine if Ian Kinsler can repeat his stellar 2016, including Musings Marcels.

The projections are skeptical, as is their wont, but perhaps it will be much ado about nothing. Few players have been as consistently good as Kinsler for the past decade. In discussing him with a friend the other day, he remarked that Kinsler feels like clockwork. The clock may slow a little each year, but there Kinsler is, putting up All-Star seasons, one right after the other. If he does so again this season, it will be an impressive feat indeed.

Looking at his stats for the last few years, his 2016 slugging percentage certainly seems like an outlier. I will take a .330 OBP and a .430 slugging percentage from a middle infielder any day.
