Hey, thanks for the response. My frustration level is right now through the roof!

I'm running the latest patched version, 8.0.13.

My frustration is at the player development in the game. I'm on July 3rd of my first season of the game and after having three more negative reports from my scout on my minor leaguers' development I'm ready to throw my computer through the wall.

Those 3 negatives gave me 86 since I started the game compared to 21 positive (more than 4 to 1). And these aren't just schlubs like Fernando Tatis or something. I'm talking about Homer Bailey, Phil Hughes, Joey Votto, Cameron Maybin and other prospects with (formerly) blue ratings. I have them in leagues where they're all performing modestly well (Votto just went down after hitting .330 with a .520 slugging). Most of them are doing ok - typical minor league type stats, especially for the batters, where they're hitting near .300, or even over, with not great slugging. And down, down, down they go. I've built my entire franchise around these young studs and they're all crapping out on me. Please help!

Thanks again.
