OK, I took a quick look.

Using this scoring system

The best offensive player last year scored 737
The 84th best scored 440

The best SP scored 609
The 36th best scored 288

The best RP scored 381
The 36th best scored 156

The proportions seem about right to me, but if you want to tell me that RPs should be devalued another 10-15% or so, you could make that case.

But relative to each other, their value would still be the same, so what difference would it make?

The 84th best offensive player (yes, we will have to go deeper than 84 because the top 84 probably has a disproportionate number of outfielders and not enough catchers, but you get my point, Im sure) is still is worth more than the best relief pitcher.
