I do not believe this is true. If I understand correctly, ratings are actually stored internally with decimal places, and rounded for display -- so the guys with zeroes are actually 0.1 or 0.3 or something.

In any event, there's at least one player in my current league with a zero HR rating but who has hit a dinger already this year.
