2009 clearly comes out as the winner, and I think I'd go with 2007 in second and 2008 in last, although it's really close between the last two.
Thoughts?

I agree. 2008 is the very definition of replacement level while 2007 has a few players who could approach average in a good year (Olivo, Ensberg, Everett). 2009 is vastly superior. These types of exercises are fun off-season filler.
