Worthwhile for teams with deep pockets but probably not for low budget teams.

This doesn't include all the international/amateur FA signings; I recall a reputable study (Beyond the Box Score?) concluding the general average chance was about 10% over all players. And that or another study concluded first round picks have a much higher chance because their team doesn't want to give up on them and other teams will more often take a chance on them, so the real average for non 1st rounders is likely well below 10% to reach the majors for a game.
Anyway, here again you can tailor your game. I turn down the Talent Change Randomness mod because I think this feature is way too random (especially given the ferocious injury engine). Also, you can get these reports less often, so you don't obsess about it.
