I agree with most of your assertion, Ted. Altabani, Silva and Ghezzi could feasibly be mediocre RH'd platoons. I'd wager a guess that in the former two's cases you could have probably got their ilk in the Rule 5 instead of the Rule 6, though. Glas might be a long reliever, but he's another type of talent that probably would've been available in the Rule 5. Guys like Becker and Wijngaard are not only available in the Rule 5, but will probably go undrafted (or promptly returned) in it.
DuBois, though, looks like a borderline all-star in the corner OF to me. He is
Jose Perez with a tangibly lesser bat, but a much better glove. If he can manage to be a low negative ZR in CF (-2 or so) then he becomes even more valuable. I think if you were risk adverse to the Savage and Baca sweepstakes, DuBois seems like a sensible poaching target for a team bereft of talent.
