Example: a hitter with :Yellow ratings of 52, 59, 49,57 gets good remarks where one with 23,60,95,30 gets trashed. They are inconsistant and I just don't read them anymore.
I also notice that a guy could have yellow and even green ratings but your scout will show his current overall (and future) ratings to be the bare minimum. I never quite understood that. In other words you could have a guy with all ratings in the 50s (I use the 100 scale) but the scout gives him a current overall rating of 20 and says he doesn't understand why the guy is even in the majors.
