In modern English the word refers to an unspecified large quantity. The term myriad is a progression in the commonly used system of describing numbers using tens and hundreds. fantasy baseball pundits who issue player projections and a dollar draft value based on the player's expected statistical performance. While these projections and auction values are highly subjective and inconsistent among each source, they have served as the best way to rank and compare player values. After draft day, player auction values give way to actual game performance, and there is no way to evaluate how those game statistics translate into ongoing player value.
