:siren: Ratings Challenge! :siren:

Rogers Hornsby is one of the best hitters ever. From age 20-35, he had a batting average below .300 just once, and 3 of those years hit over .400. It's not an era effect, as his OPS+ was above 150 all but 3 of those years. His current average is below that of my Lance Parrish, the Daydreamers' Smoky Burgess, the Imperialists' Darrell Porter, and the Unicorns' Brian McCann (the catchers of the first four teams in the update).

In sum, Rajah deserves better

The problem with all these bids is that players who will never play in the Super League have less value than even a ratings challenge. Unless they're at least good enough to be a backup, they essentially are worthless
