Also, when it comes to the draft I'm totally blind. When a team gets the first pick and, well, picks somebody, I just assume that they drafted well and move on.
On a similar note, I'm also totally blind when it comes to how well a player fits on a team. I just assume that all players on a team fit on that team, when I know full well that that's not true.
I hope I explained my problem well enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

One suggestion I have when when trying to interpret strengths and weaknesses of a team is to look at that team's stats and where those stats rank in relation to the rest of the league. If their pitching is at or near the top but their batting is near the bottom, then check to see how many of their batters are ranked in the top 10 in any hitting category and go from there. The same with their pitchers.
When drafting players, look at their Work Ethic and Intelligence ratings as well as their competition level where they played. If their Work Ethic and Intelligence aren't at least Normal or higher, then they may not develop as well as their scouting reports indicate. And, the better the competition they played against, be it in high school or college, then the better their game skills should be.
Hope this helps some.
