posted in the other forum, but maybe it belongs here. i've never tried historical. I started a league in 1991, using "career" for potential ratings and "ootp engine" instead of start every year. I understand RPs worked much differently then vs now. But, i'm surprised the RP ratings look so low. For example, I honed on on Mariano Rivera. on 100% accurate, he's got a 55 potential rating as a RP, and his cutter tops out at like 105. I would think it would be much higher. but, i look at other RPs, and none seem to have dominate pitch ratings or potential ratings. Is that normal?
