I think maybe the written reports on the draft pool guys need to be reworked to reflect how players think about the guys they're looking at.

For example, if I'm looking at a guy, and his potentials are something like 45/60/40 (for a pitcher), that on its own is not a big-league player. But, I (at least) look at it like "well, if he catches some breaks and gets that stuff and control up a bit, he's at least a back-end starter."

So, the written reports should be done from the perspective of "if everything breaks right, he will be X" instead of "based on his potentials now, he will be Y". Don't know how much work that would be though.
