Depends on what your position is. If its having Ryan instead of someone like Batista the number is closer to 5 wins most likely. If you are suggesting though as I understood your post that you use a kid like League, I think its legitimate to suggest it would cost you around 8 wins. Of course no one knows...perhaps League would excel in the closer role, but I don't think so...at least not yet.
