It seems to me like these happen too much. I call up guys for ST who wouldn't normally be ready for the Majors, and I've just been getting talent hit after talent hit on players who formerly were major prospects for me. The ST system is obviously flawed as it is in terms of roster rules, and it seems like the same issues are plaguing development. I presume ST is treated like any other time of the year when it comes to impact on development, when I feel like players should be much less susceptible to talent hits. ST is a time for young players to learn the ropes in a low-pressure environment before getting returned to the minors to get in their real at bats during the regular season.

Am I alone in thinking this? Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe I'm just having a bad year in my online leagues. But I think it's clear that ST needs a major overhaul for 08.
