Because there's no way the Mariners tolerate Kotchman forever if he doesn't hit.
I'm at 4.5 WAR on Figgins despite only giving him half a win for defense...that's so because I think most of his value from 2009 offensively will hold because his walks are a real upward trend, not some fluke.
Guti I might be a bit high on...I'm making a rare phase-change projection (numerical systems don't do that...humans rarely do...I'm calling for his style to change somewhat, so if that doesn't happen, things change).  Lopez I knew you disagreed with offensively.  I might shave a few tenths off his WAR for defense...debating on that.
I don't see how the overall projections are optimistic, though if you're quibbling that I'm at the 60th percentile on four or five guys but saying I'm negative on 3 or 4 guys as well.  LOL
