I notice the same thing with Ryan. The problem is his control potential is in the toilet. I usually go in and edit it a little to fix the problem. I do this every season when I run historicals. For the most part I like the default ratings for players, but there are a few that cause the player to have a crappy career. I notice similar things with rickey henderson and lou brock. They're low power ratings usually have them playing a platoon role vs a starting role. If they do start its usually only for a few years. The AI seems to value power more than contact, so if they cant maintain a contact rating in the 70+/100 range they will eventually lose their job to someone with a higher power rating. This is just an observation. I have no data to back it up, other then I've seen it enough that i started editing ratings. I've also had to raise contact ratings for some power hitters (McGwire), just so their career will last longer.
