1. David Ortiz- he always seems like he is going to have a down year then he rebounds. Averaged WAR: 1.7. .313/.382/.582/.417
2. Michael Young- I would have wagered a lot of money that he would have been on the Rockies by now. He won't get traded anymore, he's a 10/5 player now (without researching it, I'd assume that he had a no-trade clause before). Averaged WAR: 1.4. .336/.376/.486/.376.
3. Travis Hafner- I keep rooting for Hafner because he's fun to watch. I wish he would have stayed healthy his whole career (injuries are kind of depressing for nice players). Averaged WAR: 1.2. .345/.409/.549/.409.
4. Billy Butler- this one time when he was in Omaha, playing for the O-Royals (formerly the Omaha Royals) on a Thirsty Thursday ($1 beers) he hit a grand slam to cap a rally. We (meaning the 500 fans who were there) gave him a standing ovation. My friend went down after the game to get an autograph from Billy and he gave him one. Good times. Averaged WAR: 0.95. .292/.392/.421/.355.
5. Bobby Abreu- everyone always says that stat-heads will eventually elect Bobby Abreu to the hall of fame...I don't really know that's wrong with that, there's certainly worse players in the Hall of Fame than Abreu. Averaged WAR: 0.95. .275/.388/.372/.349.
