i am playing semi-historical - right now, in the dead-ball era (1913), so under performing players to me are guys who hit below .250, or starters that just don't put up numbers, either RBIs, runs scored, homers, stolen bases, etc ... i feel i can find the same or better players in my farm system, or some free agents cheaper.
i also get rid of players that start to age in my minors with little or no chance for advancement. i don't keep anyone in A or AA older than 25.
otherwise i do like you, except i don't use WAR just stats and how they are trending. my draft is only 10 rounds.
