I love this concept, but to follow James into the room, I need to know on what basis did he assign points?  I would probably do something fairly simple...but objective...like make an initial estimate of expected win shares based only on the WAR trend in the previous three seasons (not the future...I'm pretending we're trying to project this player based on his previous work and his momentum) with an adjustment factor for the average change in value occurring by age.
That's entirely objective and not hard to do and it gets me into the room.  James' points...maybe they tell you a neat story, but I need an explanation as to how he assigned them.
