It's a great idea, but on paper only. A system like that can only work if the value of a card is relatively the same across all cards with the same overall. Which, as we know, is not even close to be a thing.
IF they have been working on balancing the disparity among cards of same rating, then I'd say yes, that would be a great idea.
But as is with the current disparity, you would need to pair that with something else to create a formula. Win%, Manager Score, etc. Otherwise what will happen is right out of the gate, some people will pull/buy/earn Live Perfect Cole, Acuna, Betts,etc and have them locked up in collections facing people who pull/buy/earn perfect historical Robinson, Lajoie,Maddux etc.
What do you think the guy with the Live Perfects will do ? He will either quit, or worse, he will sit idle until enough people improve their teams enough before he goes back to improving his team again after he's been passed in the seeding. Which kinda goes against the entire play mode.
So TL;DR - It's a good idea, but only if:

1 - There is parity between cards of a same value (including Live Cards) or
2 - Combine the card ratings with other values that will help with the reseeding of someone that is not cheating, but doesn't have the firepower to rival with vastly superior teams.
