How do you handle players whose ratings don't match their results? Last season I had two pitchers who started 31 and 23 games respectively, with solid ERA's (4.14 & 3.90). The second was a rookie. The first guy now has 86 career starts with a 3.83 ERA and almost 2/1 K/W--at age 23 with no injury history and fair endurance (13). However, every scout I check them with gives them both ratings of 20 out of 80 for both OVR and POT. They're completely untradable except for rookie leaguers or total scrubs. If they're really as bad as their ratings, I have other pitchers I'd like to give a shot to, but it seems wrong to exile them to the minors. Any thoughts?
