Toni Ginnetti of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote a
little piece on Pablo Ozuna's injury. The headline of this article is:
Ozzie on Ozuna: He's Irreplaceable.Irreplaceable.
Now, I know that utility guys are often key pieces of their teams' success, given their flexibility and "gutsy spirit" and all that. But what strikes me as semantically amusing about Ozzie Guillen's declaration is that Pablo Ozuna's
WARP, or Wins Above Replacement Player, is -0.1. His WARP2 is 0.0, and his WARP3, adjusted for all-time, is 0.1.
Thus: Pablo Ozuna, this year, is virtually the
very definition of "replaceable."
