I wouldn't measure it in terms of at bats affected, but this way. Replacing an average pitcher with a great pitcher can, all things equal, mean up to 10 (or even more) wins. That can easily be the difference between 3rd place and the pennant. I am not sure the incremental difference between an average position player and a superstar translates into 10-12 more wins.
