Another fWAR comparison

We've got another fWAR comparison for giggles here. My wife told me that Yunel Escobar has been put on the paternity leave list and will be unavailable until Saturday. I figured that besides Encarnacion, the average fWAR would be well below 1 - I forgot about Rasmus. I pressed on and for your amusement, here's tonight's lineup and corresponding fWAR value, the value of the players on the DL and unavailable list, and what an ideal lineup might look like:

Considering Romero threw some balls last night, Morrow would probably get the start today, and the team would post an accumulative fWAR of 18.2. For comparison's sake, Mike Trout's current fWAR? 7.5 - the same as tonight's ENTIRE BLUE JAYS STARTING LINE UP PLUS THEIR PITCHER.


Trout the best. I'm going home now.
