Yes, so he's saying that Cobb is an amazing value in this format because his power isn't accounted for in the limitations.
I don't care. The limitations are a fun idea other then having 6 RPs. Just explaining what he's getting at.

But Cobb always has value, he's almost always a first round pick, I think Milky Milk is overthinking this one.

There is a difference between a ty Cobb and a tony Gwynn. We know the type of player tony Gwynn is. His lack of home runs would be accounted for. But TY cobb’s Lack of home runs is like saying let’s take one of the best power hitters of his time and get him for nothing.
If we are doing pre 1930 then there is no reason to not do post 2005 and current. I mean it’s just as much of a mystery and just as much cheating.
Not at all just pointing out the loophole in this draft. Hoping for it to close before we start.
But I will attempt to make a good post to show what I mean later when I have a computer to use. Hate arguing on a cell phone.
you realize if we go in as is ... you need at least 5 batters who are 200 or less HRs
from 1871-1930 only 3 Players had over 200 HRs
from 1871-1940 17 players had over 200(includes the 3 and others who were already accumulating)
from 1871-1950 it jumps to 29
and clearly now, it i
we are talking too many Greats that didn't reach 200 HRs entirely because of when they played...
in football drafts if we talk about sacks, we were not allowed to draft players like Carl Eller
in basketball drafts if we had 3 pointers as a stat, is it fair to draft Jerry West??
so why is it ok here... Just because some of you guys like Old baseball players more??
you are going to see it throughout the draft that owners will cheat their ways out of Home run hitters by taking Old players...
and no, the BA restriction doesn't help, it really just makes things worse... because now you are punishing HR hitters for being BA guys... which also makes the non-.300 BA hr hitters more valuable..

I agree with a portion of this, this will be a problem but your point about Cobb still didn't make sense.
The points regarding football and basketball don't work either, we know the number Eller had, it's unofficial but it's there, also not keeping track of stats or the stat not being a rule isn't the same as the stat being affected by era.
But I do agree now we need to change some things.
