Obviously there are plenty of reasons that randomness and percentages come into play. I'm not suggesting there are any things that guarantee that a player will develop in a certain way. One of the greatest parts of OOTP is the true randomness that it has.
I just figured that there are some things that must be known. I don't think anyone would suggest that something innocuous like changing the uniform color or changing someone's name would change development. So therefore, we can give a definitive "No, that does not affect a player's development".
I guess I was just wondering if someone, maybe a developer, knew if performance COULD affect development. If the answer was "no", as in "No matter what you do on the field, a player's development is decided by the 'percentages' and 'randomness' of the game's engine", then my question would be answered. Also, if a developer said, "Sometimes, performance on the field CAN affect it", then my question also would be answered.

No you were fine. I hope my response didn't suggest any jerkiness (I'm BBQing jerk chicken right now).
My personal opinion is that sustained over-performance in the minor leagues will result in a ratings boost. I try to keep up with all my prospects but every so often somebody comes out of the woodwork and when I check it out the reason is big numbers.
I'll have more later but food and wine are calling.
