This may not qualify as a tech support issue, but it has really annoyed me, and seems to make player evaluation worthless. I am running 9.1.6, Mac version.

I spent about twelve hours going over my entire system and writing down the player overall/potential at each of several positions, then deciding which position and which level the players should be.

Tonight I was spending some time specifically on the minors, and I noticed that three of the players had radically changed ratings. (I quit looking after finding these three, not wanting to waste more hours on this.) No days had passed in the game, though I had turned it off and on twice since first noting the results. Scouting is OFF, and I have not clicked the 'rescout' button..

Shimamura (3B/SS) was 22/32, (2B) was 22/26, now 22/23 all positions
Umeda (2B/3B) was 22/37, (SS) was 22/34, now 22/23 all positions
Momotami (3B/SS) was 23/31, (2B) was 23/24, now 23/23 all positions

Note that Umeda's and Shimamura's relative positions have also changed. They are ranked by potential above, and obviously Umeda's potential used to be higher.

It seems equally obvious to me that if no time goes by in the game, regardless of whether scouting is enabled, the evaluation of the players that I'm looking at (whether it's right or wrong) should not change.
