Being the lowly Chicago Cubs, I had a pretty good draft for the 2014 season. Three solid 4.5 star or higher pitchers and a three star outfielder. Now, we all know that draft choices don't always pan out, but yikes! Moving on to the 2015 season, only one of those pitchers is still reasonably rated. The rest are all down to half a star.

And it, once again, seems that talent level can only go down and never up. In the much earlier versions of OOTP there was always one or two pleasant surprises every three years.

It also seems that 5 star potential players are a little more immune to this phenomenon. Is there any way to mitigate problem with the talent variance setting?
