I've got UTILITY players who play better and have overall better stats than normal everyday players. Runs, RBI's, Doubles, ERA and the list continues. I can trade for crap players now and they do better than the star players that want 16 million dollars and have an era of 5.16 vs my mediocre players with 3.16 and 120 strikeouts. lol
OOTPBB 10 has to be the WORST stat based by ratings and stars of the entire series.

You want a great team guys? lol Just go around the league and look at all the teams AAA players actual stats and get them for a song (pay them $660,000) and you'll be in the playoffs if not winning the world series in no time flat. I could probably win with a $25,000,000 roster now with this kind of crap going on.
Well, the utility players having huge seasons is realistic on a few levels. First, players have breakout seasons. Second, utility players having big years happens in real life all the time, except the teams then start them more and it usually hurts them. Anyway, you can't just go by stars alone as is, they're there to be a quick evaluation of players, but are you using scouting? If so, what scouting accuracy are you using? It could be that you're just getting lucky with players that your scout doesn't rate very highly.
