I just don't know if that is factored into the game engine. It's not an opinion question. There should be a factual answer.
Why should there be a factual answer? Not sure what that means. If it means you want 1+2=3 every time then I'd be 100% against. Correct me if I missed the point.

The developers know. Probably others who are deeply knowledgeable of the programming involved. The rest of us well, I have ideas but I'm no genius.

I'm glad there is some mystery involved. Just like real life there are no sure things especially in Baseball talent evaluation. Co-incidentally I was looking at the 1991 MLB draft today where only 10 of 44 1st round picks had career WAR of 10 and above. Only 4 had career WAR over 20.


Edit

I think most would agree that scenario 1 is almost always bad. I don't do it so don't know of any prospects who were successful despite bad handling. Number 3 I'd never do. Number 2 gives mixed results.
