Lowest career WAR for a 2-time+ all-star?

Question

Of all MLB players who have made the all-star team at least twice, who has the lowest career WAR?

Is there a way to answer this question with baseball-reference or mlb savant? Or do you have to write some SQL?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you don't want the pitcher's WAR for hitting included in this list. I excluded pitchers from the batting war by setting a requirement of 15% in any non-pitching position. Blue Moon Odom (a pitcher) still sneaks into this list, because he was frequently used a pinch runner. I didn't want to filter out any other legit hitters who were used as a pinch runner in their career.

2	Blue Moon Odom	2.2	1509	1964	1976

4	Mike Williams	3.6	768.1	1992	2003
5	Kazuhiro Sasaki	3.7	223.1	2000	2003
6	Joel Hanrahan	4.3	404.2	2007	2013
7	Chris Pérez	4.7	379.1	2008	2014
8	David Bednar	5.2	183.2	2019	2023
9	Al Javery	5.6	1142.2	1940	1946
10	Ryne Duren	5.7	589.1	1954	1965

I don't know why stathead is not including the All-Star appearance in their final table.

For the pitchers, I had to set a minimum innings pitched of 150 innings. Otherwise, you'd get guys like Jose Canseco in there who pitched a couple innnigs. Why 150 innings? There's a Yankee outfielder, Ben Chapman, who was a 3x All-Star in the 1930s. In his career he pitched 141 innings.
