Is the current model too reliant on ratings and not enough stats which is a reflection of a players ability to put those ratings to good use? Just a bit curious.

I've no idea, but it would be interesting to test. You could regress a player's career batting/pitching stats at the major league level on their career minor league stats, ideally adjusted for the ages at which they played in the minors. Then compare OOTP and MLB. Would be a lot of work, but it can be done.
