Agree on fWAR for pitchers....I wish there would be a merger between bWAR and fWAR and they would use bWAR for pitchers and fWAR for position players.

1st easiest step is just to put Arroyo at DH. they will probably non Tender Raley
I doubt they non tender him he was a top bat before they trotted him out with one good arm for weeks on end. He hets well in Seattle and would make a good trade chip for a team looking to add a lefty power bat at 1B/OF/DH. He is cheap and controlled.

Seems like a really stupid idea to rely on a 21 YO to DH for you. Arroyo has talent in his bat for sure, but a .700 OPS DH is almost surely in line as the league figures him out. The M's don't get handed rookies who produce - just doesn't happen.

I think they figure on a Naylor bounce back year. I just would rather see him gone however you get it done.
No, they are married
