Oh also, strange thing happened. I drafted a pitcher rated 20/80 with potential for some number that was red or barely orange (around 30/80). Almost just got rid of him at the end of the season but because he had 45 control and a lot of pitches I gave him a chance. Don't think I ever used him as relief either. Well he goes out and puts on a great season, developing into a 62/80 with 67/80 potential. I didn't know prior to that occurrence that guys could do that. Had another SP, rated better initially, do some off and on work for years to "well you're not getting destroyed..." level of work. He was angry at one point for being minors and I nearly traded him. Didn't, then needed him a year later. He turns into a 50-55/80 with potential of 75/80! He won't develop past that 50 level, but still...
