Looking at the lineup:
Rodriguez: 3.0 WAR, 101 OPS
Shelton: 1.8 WAR, 106 OPS +
Polanco: 0.9 WAR, 73 OPS +
Guillen: 6.2 WAR, 129 OPS +
Aurilia: 4.5 overall WAR, 121 OPS +
Thames: 2.5 WAR, 122 OPS +
Suzuki: 0 for the season WAR, 77 OPS +
Ordonez: 1.7 WAR, 106 OPS +
Denorfia: 0.9 WAR, 98 OPS +
The data would suggest a lot of empty calories as far as the homers go, at least from Shelton and Ordonez. Most surprising to me is Ichiro as a below average outfielder offensively. He didn't add anything really to the lineup, although he did qualify as an improvement over Granderson. 5 out of the 9 lineup spots are 110 or below OPS +
