Second, if they were, I'd have the same problem with scouting as with the proposed "analytics department".
Have you considered that, like scouts, the error bars for projections are also very big for prospects, and get smaller as players are more experienced?


*ok, I'll confess, part of the reason I'd like to see projections in the game is so more people might better understand what projections are, and aren't. So when something more important than a baseball sim, say a global pandemic, happens people will better understand it.
