Hi, I am a huge baseball fan and know the ins and outs of the game, the players, and ratings and what not (played mogul for a long time).

I have a question about ratings though. I got the '13 demo and was checking out all the rosters. I noticed some of the ratings were weird. For example the Mariners Nick Franklin had some ridiculous potential ratings and Danny Hultzen and James Paxton were rating horribly for potential. All are top tier prospects, but nothing crazy, just solid future good MLB players. I sawweird ratings around the league as well.

So pretty much:
1. Are there better rosters out there that people edit?
2. Are some of these weird ratings because of my scouts being off?
3. Is the 20-80 scale the same as real life? (As in 50 is average, 80 is top top tier (Strasburg stuff, Stanton power, Trout speed) And not a lot of guys should have 80 ratings..

Thank you very much to anyone who can answer these!
