It's all relative. also keep in mind that ratings don't produce stats, league modifiers do, ratings only distribute the stats that the league modifiers produce. If you build a league of Hall of fame hitters someone is going to suck because there are only so many statistics to go around based on the league modifiers for the core year you are playing in. Fill your league with 50 Home Run guys and no one hits 50, they all are more likely to hit 25-30

A players worth from a statistical stand point is only relative to how well everyone else is preforming and what their ratings are. Ratings are not absolute.

example: all .280 hitters are not created equal

If you hit .280 in 1930 you were 16 pts below the league average
If you hit .280 in 1968 you were 43 points above the league average

It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.” -Babe Ruth “Ruth made a grave mistake when he gave up pitching.
