Rate
The rate of a player is calculated by a complex and proprietary formula
exclusively designed by TG Fantasy Baseball. The standard 5x5 categories
(batting average, runs scored, home runs, runs batted in, stolen bases,
wins, saves, strikeouts, ERA and WHIP) are used in calculating a player's
rate. The rate is based completely on these statistics. Position scarcity,
playing time, free agent status, etc. have no bearing on a player's rate.
The rate should be used to compare a player's statistics to other players as well as compare a player's performance from year to year. The rate should NOT be used to solely calculate dollar values. There are many other factors involved in creating dollar values other than the player's rate.
Typically, the best player in baseball from the previous season will get a rate of around 100. Roger Clemens, in 1997, scored a rate of 132.9; the highest rate on record since 1996. Todd Van Poppel, in 1996, has the dubious distinction of the lowest rate of -70.8.
