In spring training I leave everything at "5," unless:
1. A batter has really low power, in which case I move all his power points to either contact or eye. I'd rather have a guy with 60 contact and 10 power than a guy with 45 contact and 20 power, if you catch my drift.
2. A reliever has relatively high endurance (for example, 45-55) in which case I move some or all endurance points to stuff or control. Endurance does me no good if his poor stuff and control will never let him reach the majors.
In my solo league I had a catcher with a 57 arm. Not terrible but not great. I moved just two points out of power and into defense in ST. Voila, after spring training his arm strength went to 95! Maybe it would've happened anyway, but I like to think my reallocation helped increase it. (His power talent dropped only slightly, and wasn't that great to begin with.)
Most of these are just common sense, thinking about whether a particular category can be sacrificed to turn a career minor leaguer into someone who might be at least a role player in the majors.
