That's because "average" in your world and my world isn't special, but it is MLB. Here is the BA definitions:go birds wrote:I guess i just still don't have a firm grasp on the whole 20-80 system then.
75-80: Franchise players and No.1 starters, such as Miguel Cabrera, Clayton Kershaw, David Price, and Mike Trout.
65-70: No. 2 starters and perennial all-stars in the mold of Adrian Beltre, Jon Lester, and Yadier Molina.
55-60: First-division regulars and No.3 starters and elite closers, such as Elvis Andrus, Jay Brice, Craig Kimbrel and Justin Masterson would earn these grades.
45-50: The 50s profile as solid-average regulars with higher peaks, hard-throwing eight-inning relievers and fourth starters on playoff teams such as Brett Gardner, Chris Iannetta and Mike Leake. The 45s are good utility players or semi-regulars, back-end starters and steady middle relievers such as Mike Aviles, Kevin Correia and Matt Guerrier.
40: Players with swingman or utility/backup catcher upside, or same-side relief specialists. This category includes the likes of Robert Andino, Joe Thatcher and P.J. Walters.
