Ugh. Thanks for clarifying that. That's a big problem for what I want out of a sim. It confirms what had been my impression and is why I didn't buy this game years ago--until I got a ridiculously good offer through Impulse.
If I want to see if I could do better than Dombrowski and Duquette did with the Expos when they brought up all that talent in the early 1990s, I don't want already know that Walker is a keeper but Grissom and DeShields should be traded while their value is high.
I wish there was a game otherwise as rich as OOTP but where potential growth was assigned based only on physical characteristics in combination with the statistical record to date and possibly actual historical scouting to date, but only if that can be done systematically to minimize bias.
