What if you only thought it increased each players chance by 5%? Saunders + Wells + Ackley + Seager + Montero + Smoak + Wells would equal 35% added. Couldn't it help Gutierrez and Ryan too? what about the other guys in spring training? Zunino, Franklin, Romero, Miller, Hicks, Catricala, etc. etc., etc.
Is it somewhat cumulative? Does adding Ibanez, Morales, Bay and Morse make it more like 7.5% per? 10%?
The belief in needing the right veterans doesn't end with production from the support and comfort they can supply. Camaraderie has been considered by many in the game to be a boost over 162 games. There's noshortage of examples and quotes to show that players managers and coaches believe this. Which giant recently said "you can't buy chemistry"? Can't quantify it either, but I'm confident it exists.
