That said I have no real problem using ratings a bit as well, and have gone as high as 10% with them. I justify it because players are not totally scouted by statistics in reality. There are plenty of visual things scouts notice as well, such as how well a player physically swings the bat. Larger, more muscular guys are more likely to have more power. Stuff like that. Since we can't "watch" our players I consider ratings to be more of an evaluation on those terms. Still hardly ever have the AI eval on them though.
See this is where I might differ a bit.

I love the first idea and totally get the thought behind it.

But I differ in that unless you turn ratings off you see the power, gap, etc ratings. (I've always called them "tool ratings" but that may be simplifying a bit.)

I definitely have no issues with that eval scale...we all want our info presented and utilized differently!

Everyone's mileage may vary. I play nearly every game out, so I am probably much more likely to notice a genie scout...and then I notice the talent drop half a season before it starts manifesting statistically and I hate the league going forward.
