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

By Tangotiger, 01:58 PM

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

After 16 votes, WAR of :3.13:

#2 Tangotiger (see all posts) 2008/10/22 (Wed) @ 16:41

After 22 votes, drop the number in post 1 by 0.13.

I think injuries will rob him of higher scores from most people.

#4 (see all posts) 2008/10/22 (Wed) @ 22:52

I voted based on my belief that he’ll stay in the NL…

#5 (see all posts) 2008/10/22 (Wed) @ 23:41

I think he’d do well playing for St. Louis
