I like the idea of pitchers learning new pitches, and some of the ideas on how to do it are really good. I would like to see it involve the coaches more. It would be cool to get a message from my pitching coach telling me a pitcher is really coming along with a new pitch, and should be considered for a rotation spot, or an email saying we've been wasting our time.

The trick is to make it work without building super teams. To me it would have to involve intelligence and work ethic ratings, coach ratings, and development $'s. I think all those factors together could work in the "dice roll" to see if a pitch was learned or not. I imagine this could work for learning new positions as well.

At least it would put some tangible value towards playing with coaches on.
