I have a 39 overall player on one roster currently who has 12 stealing and 11 speed (on a 1-10 scale). He provides great value early on this season. 9 games played, 8 steals, 6 runs scored.
Or the low overall player who plays plus defense at 3 positions.
Their skillset and what you're using them for is the real determination of value on your team.

if it adapts to the leauge environment, i'm sure it's equation changes based on league totals in stats and ai settings... got the stats impacting it too.
i think someone hit it on the head -- in the upper echelon it's probably more useful / accurate for a regular's role but at the bottom of team, like a speedy bench player, you need to weigh their talents differently. If their PA are minimized and they are often used as a PR or defensive replacement, you value those individual traits that match the role you use them.
This is why i like to rely on injury replacements from AAA than investing in them on the bench in MLB. My bench serves specific roles and those skills aren't best-served starting regularly.
I'f i'm gonna have a 30-45 guy fill in, he's better off being league minimum cost.
