How do you know, 2 months isn't a big sample size). I would've thought the ratings my scout provides are a better predictor of what a player is today, that's why I am paying the top scout with a $24M budget, to tell me what a player is and will be. It tells me what level my player should be in at this moment (i.e. 38 OVR in MLB, 45 AAA, 54 AA...sounds like he should be in AA right now)
that is a good point, which is why I try to let them spend a full year at a level before I consider promoting them. There's always exceptions of course. I don't believe you should ignore ratings, just as you shouldn't ignore stats. Ratings can also be very misleading. you have to use them together
