Agree with the above. I prefer drafting guys with at least some college, because [1] they are much easier to project; and [2] they are much closer to MLB, than high school guys. Admittedly that’s partly because I play out games and don’t sim years at a time. So I literally could be waiting years for that 18-year-old phenom to hit the show.

OOTP seems to recognize the distinction between cold-weather and warm-weather schools. The guys playing in the south have longer seasons and play more games. The competition is also better, and again OOTP seems to reflect that. In recent times, a good solid four-year player in the SEC should be able to slide into A+ or even AA right out of college. That works for me.
