Further, you can rotate Alex and Sal in there, which you'll need to do to keep your best bats in there for the aforementioned "half days off".

Using WAR to calculate the projected output from a player who played a partial season is a dishonest mechanism for evaluation.
Case in point: In 2004, Mark Teahan had an AWESOME 3.8 OWar with only about 400 PA's, his performance over a full season in 2006? 0.8.
