Try this experiment. Give all your fielders defense training and your whole rotation secondary pitch improvement training. You should be able to fit that in the default six slots now that we have the new patch. Do this for a few years and see what happens. You can look at the raw numbers in the editor if you like, you shouldn't have to, but you can. It's having a real impact on the field, as well as the raw numbers. Stop trying to boost maxxed out prospect stats and you'll see that the Dev Lab is by no means "cosmetic" if used sensibly.

I’ve done it. You can have the #1 defense by all statistical ratings going out of your way to neglect defense intentionally over many seasons. You obviously need good scouting of base stats to do that, but it isn’t hard.
If you take the same team and run them through the lab for 10 seasons, then take the same team and don’t use the lab for the same 10 seasons and see where they wind up…you’ll see there is a small bucket they will wind up in.
