Agree on potential, but isnt potential a crap shoot(sometimes)? I have had many 5 star potentials end up platooning on my triple A squad for their career.
We are talking about guaranteed stats, what -will- happen, not just potential.
As i said, the AI should have strong feelings on the potential, after all, the scouts are telling them this kid looks great and has great tools, he -should- go far. But he doesnt know for sure, only you know that Mark McGuire went from batting .252 in 2004, to being a HR monster the next year.
So maybe the AI should value the potential more? I have a hell of a time trying to weasel a #1 prospect from the AI. But i still think IMHO it is better that AI doesnt know that player #7485 is going to suck this year, but will have 20 win seasons from 1974-1979.
Hind-site/fore-site would be great to have. 8)
