I have never seen so many talent drops in my online leagues than I do now. We are talking about 1st rders, BIG Prospects getting talent drops in all categories or seeing a talent increase in bating average and seeing a drop in batting average 1/2 months later???

This needs to be addressed.
IMO, the player dev. is downright excellent... there needs to be some uncertainty in the game... real life scouting is anything BUT a guarantee... ever heard of Todd Van Poppel... was supposed to be a huge SP prospect... drafted in the first round and had a sorry, sorry career... thank goodness he refused to sign w/ the Braves so they drafted Chipper Jones instead...

Even though 1st rounders (and other) face talent drops, there are several players who get talent boosts... I've had 3rd rounders (in a 5 round draft) end up more like 2nd rounders or even late 1st's... That happens in real life too... Mike Piazza is supposed to be a Hall of Fame catcher and he was drafted way down around the 75th round as a favor to his dad
