There's no way that I believe a replacement player would be 1.1 wins worse than Martin was last year...there is a point where you are so bad offensively (or defensively in other cases) where there is a non-linear impact of your suckage on the team. A 50 OPS+ is one of those points. Martin was not a 1 win player last year...WAR's linear assumption is wrong and Martin proves it. And no...I don't think a broken hammate bone can worsen a player's eye ratio.
Come June, ifr Martin is OPS+ing 100, I'll apologize for doubting Dipoto's judgment...but to me, Martin is the worst full time starting regular the Mariners have had since Brendan Ryan.
