Royally Speaking: A Confederacy of Getzes
What would a lineup of 9 Chris Getzes look like? No mistakes, but less runs.

2.979 runs per game. 483 runs per year.
Or just 30 fewer runs than last year’s Mariners.

And they had the ability to choose 9 players who aren't Chris Getz
Makes their offensive impotence that much more incredible.
So How Many
WAR are 9 Getzes worth? The positional adjustments on the corners must be devastating.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
I think theoretically he's worth the same WAR at every position
The downward hitting adjustment is offset by the equivalent (theoretically) upward defensive adjustment, but I’m really not sure about that.

I Don't Think
His play in LF and RF would be a plus, and his bat would stink on toast.

Right, we'd have to adjust at each position for how well/poorly we think he'd field

I am opposed to censoring the Internet.
But if you people are going to keep talking about having 9 Chris Freakin’ Getzeses in a lineup, I may have to reconsider.

So Yahoo! Answers and YouTube comments aren't bad enough to trigger it for you,
but this?

How do we clone him?
In South Korea? Can we speed up the aging for him(s) to be ready to play soon? Would the Royals only need to pay one salary – to the true Getz?
An all-Getz team would win about eight games
especially when you figure he’s pitching, too.
