Also, the Pirates finished 2 GB from winning the division...their 2B slashed .230/.270/.468 and had 2 WAR solely on his defense. Easy to argue that just keeping and playing Holder was the difference between winning the division & going home.
Ratings, stats, a combination...there is no justifiable reason to leave him unprotected.

But the combination is exactly what’s going on though. It’s working exactly how you have it set.
He had a bad current year, your current year evaluation is 50. His GM could give even more weight to current year and less to ratings based on the baseline set. There isn’t much weight to his last year stats where he was a 4.7 war in the minors. Not much there for his 2 years ago stats. It seem to me that the GM overreacted to his bad current year.
His current ratings aren’t that high and his true potential is really a mystery because he’s showing very low accuracy.
Yes he’s the number 1 prospect but I’m assuming it’s based on yearly and not dynamic meaning that it wasn’t updated at season end where he probably isn’t #1 anymore as that title was given in April because of his stats from last year most likely.
