Are you sure that talent doesn't change because of spring training? I know I've seen talent changes (both increases and decreases) in spring training. And in the cases of talent decreases, I think it's always been in areas in which I allocated a low number of points. I can't be sure that the spring training allocations are the cause, but that's what I suspect is the reason.

As far as improving defense goes, allocating 8 points to defense is enough to almost always improve the defensive range by one rating. Has anyone ever seen a defensive rating increase by more than one in a single spring training?
