Yeah, exactly - the game can now model the High School draftee who hasn't really developed his offspeed pitches at the time of the draft. If, like most HS draftees, he has good Stamina, he'll be able to start in the minors, but unless his repertoire develops, he won't be able to start in the bigs. Should make draft day decisions more interesting - draft the guy with higher upside, in the hope that he develops an SP's arsenal, or draft the guy with the lower ceiling, but who is a much safer bet to be a starter in the Majors?
