I wonder if the math goes out the window when you are the GM for a contender and think this is your shot at winning the World Series, because at that point, concepts like “wins above replacement” are less relevant; you are just fine-tuning your team for a specific task (winning four games out of seven).

On the other side, what is the point in re-signing Bumgartner if over the contract length it is unlikely that he will have another chance to be “clutch”.
