I may not care much for Sammy Sosa, but I certainly know who he is, and if my team traded for him tomorrow, I guantee you it would make some noise in the local papers, as opposed to say some carer minor leaguer.

In fact I just checked my current fictional team and 18 of the 25 men on my roster are "UNKOWN" locally... including my 21 year old 3 STAR 4.5 POTENTIAL starting pitcher. Does it really make sense that he is UNKNOWN?

Personally I think that the popularity scale needs to be tweaked a bit...
Yes, but will some fans stop coming to see the Rangers if they cut Sammy today? That's what player popularity measures.

Has your 21-year-old SP done anything of note in the majors yet?
