    Reliever WAR is a bit crazy to use. Mariano Rivera, who was a no doubt first ballot HOFer, made it to 3 WAR a couple of times, but was generally a 2-2.5 guy. So using a reliever's WAR vs. a position player's isn't really accurate.

    Or it's that WAR is accurate, and the thought process you have here shows how relievers are not as vital as we think they are (over the course of a year)

  2. Lopez - bad now, but hopefully he can be turned around. My concern is the lack of an out pitch. He uses so many pitches that he screams reliever but this year is the perfect time to wait and see (since, really, what else are we going to do. any replacement starter would replace banuelos anyway)

    Burger = big question mark to even make the show, IMO

    Collins = Sox still have him earmarked for catcher

    Mercedes = getting a bit old for a prospect.  He’s probably trade fodder.

    Eloy = LF for now, but I could see DH in his future

    Abreu = nearing retirement

    Vaughn = still makes sense to replace Abreu at 1B considering all of the above and that not all guys will pan out

    If Vaughn is highest rated available you have to take him, because I dont know who of those guys ends up working out. You cant assume theyre all going to hit

    Eloy would be the best bet but you can get away with him at LF at times. Hopefully on a good team he doesnt have to play there, but still.
