How are rankings determined?
The rankings are not that critical. The ranking is used more of a counting mechanism than an actual ranking. A ranking in your league would be different for a ranking in another league. You would be better off looking at the Player Value that gets calculted. Player Value is determined by your league info. It takes into account, your scoring categories, # of players drafted, # of dollars spent by each owner, MLB teams used in your league, % spent on hitting vs pitching, ect. The ranking is used to determine how many of the players should be included when calculating Player Values. So lets say your team has 10 owners and each owner draft 12 hitters. Diamond Draft will then go out and get the highest ranked 120 or so hitters used in your league. The total projected stats for these hitters is then used to calculate your league’s Player Values. Thus ranking for your league is really the value calculated for each player.
