Sorry for the dumb question, but how exactly does that work? One SD is 65%, two is 95% and three is 99%. If I assume 50 = 0, 60 = 1, 70 = 3 and 80 = 4.....
That would, as an example, I have 150 SP's (30 x 5), zero to one SP would be rated 80. If I have 240 RP (30 x 8), one to two would be 80. Finally, if I assume nine batters as starters per team, I've got 270 (30 x 9), so again, only maybe two to three (?) are 80's in the ratings. But there are more 80's in the game than that (maybe 5-6 using math above).
Just curious on your thoughts about that math. Interesting discussion item.
