F · 7 seasons · 1958-59 – 1965-66
Mike Farmer is the extreme version of a specialist. +1.9 of roto value came from free-throw percentage, yet his career total is only -9.7. 1962-63 was the high-water mark, worth +0.3, 44th that season and 9920th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. Career value accumulated in free-throw percentage (+1.9), and drained away in points (-3.8), assists (-3.2) and field-goal percentage (-2.5). The 159-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
