I'm not sure why you quoted me (I was being sarcastic), but I think we're on the same side.
Forgetting the argument going on right now about whether some high % of the draft should have potentials of 20 out of 80, the OP doesn't specify how many teams are in his league, but assuming it's a reasonable #, he should certainly have more than 9 >1 star potential guys in his draft. Assuming he's being truthful about that #, something's up here. I complain about not enough 20 out of 80 guys and my leagues' drafts aren't nearly that bad.
Re-reading sfeldkamp's post it seems some of us might be confusing the words potential and current. If we're talking current overall stars in the draft, then, yeah, it can be pretty rare the player with multiple stars. Assuming the OP is talking about potential overall stars, like it sounds like he is, then that's way off from my OOTPX league (12 teams, players for 12 rounds) where about half of the players are 1.5 stars. I think that's wildly different from what most of us experience with our leagues.
Maybe it's the type of scout as Phillies questions above. I haven't played with them much to know.
