But Byrd isn't a replacement level vet. His WAR last year would have made him the fourth best hitter on the team. And his WAR in 2008 would have made him the 4th best hitter on our 97 win team.

Last year he wasn't. But I'd say the rest of his career he was very much a replacement level player. Next three years, outside of Arlington and turing 32-34, he could very well be a replacement level player again. Hope not.
