Re: Player Rankings

The strategy of who you pick and how you design your team would still exist - balancing offense versus defense, catering your stadium to your team, pinch hitting and defensive subs, etc. You may say “cookie cutter” however I would say “competitive balance”. If the rankings exist to help newer players to better understand the value for the draft, then I believe what I stated before would help optimize that. It also is important for trades and no drops. The rankings today are somewhat misleading to true value - for hitting. Pitching is fairly balanced. If the intent is not to best rate the players for drafting/trading/no drop purposed, then it might be best and delete the ranking entirely.
