I still like 2007, but it does seem that more than just a bell-curve quantity are clustered at the bottom of the ratings. (As a Bill James reminder, quality in professional baseball isn't a bell curve, it only represents one end of the curve, the end where the very best accumulate. That means there are always many more poor players than good ones. But I do wonder if the curve is too steep--meaning too high a percentage of bad players--in the current version.)
