That's exactly what I would have thought, but apparently it requires a pretty major recode to the AI, so it's harder than you might think. But the effort would be worth it.

Yeah, just turn scouting off and I bet you'll see he's a 2-star guy at best.

Understand that I agree with you; I said I find this particular problem the "biggest issue with the game's AI at the moment". The only point where we disagree is not really an important one - I'm just quite certain your scout is dramatically overrating this particular pitcher's ability, which is something that happens quite often in OOTP. That still doesn't change the fact that this guy should never ever be released by an AI team except in very unusual circumstances.
