Here's what I figured:

We have 9 people in the league.

Based on last years stats, if you had the 5th highest point producer at each position, this is how many offensive points you'd have had:
Code:
1B  Dunn     623
2B  Figgins  525
3B  Glaus    542
SS  Lopez    522
LF  Matsui   586
CF  Giles    553
RF  Suzuki   547
 C  Kendall  365
UT  Average  533
That'a a total of 4263 points on offense

The top 45 SPs totaled 19,474 points, or an average of 361 points each.

So if you had 6 of them

That's a total of 2,166 from your SPs

The top 45 RPs totaled 8,246 points, or an average of 183 points each.

So if you had 5 of them

That's a total of 915 points from your RPs

On a percentage basis, you wind up with this:

Code:
Offense          4263   58.05%
Start Pitching   2166   29.49%
Relief Pitching   915   12.46%
So what's wrong with the scoring system?

About 60% of your points come from offense, about 40% from pitching, the very best hitters are worth more than the best SPs, the best SPs are worth more than the next level or "group" of hitters, those hitters are worth more than all but the best SPs, and almost everyone that's gonna get picked in our draft worth more than all but the very best RPs.
