Player valuation doesn't end on Opening Day. By season's end, 15-20% of total value comes from undrafted players. It's high time for a new approach to valuing sub-zero value players.

Baseball commentators periodically suggest that tall pitchers (like Chris Tillman, pictured) are slower to develop than short or average-height pitchers.
