Poll: How many wins will O-Dawg contribute in 2009?

By Tangotiger

Using this metric for wins above replacement (WAR):
WAR = playingTime * (Offense + Defense + 2.25)
where:
Offense is wins relative to an average NL hitter (per 162 G)
Defense is wins relative to an average NL fielder AT HIS POSITION (per 162 G)
playingTime is the % of his team’s innings (games) you expect him to play
