An interesting metric for each team would be the average number of times taken for each player on the team -- separate the group-think teams from the mavericks.  I don't have many of the players listed above, but the ones I do have were very popular (Maddux, Niggeling, Adams), so I'd be interested in how my choices stack up.

rick0513's 1.2 is simply awesome!

And thanks, schwarze.  I seem to remember you doing a "factor" thing like this before, which is probably why it popped into my head when I read the list of players.

Now, how about this one: Players above $5M (or some other threshold) chosen only once.
