Newbie Question

What is the difference between blue stars and gold stars. From what I can gather blue stars are for prospects. If I am right does this mean that 1 gold star is better than 5 blue stars?

Thanks

Sorry, I turn off all stars and ratings.

Blue stars are prospects.. yes... But, the blue stars are based solely on talent... the gold stars are based on ratings. 1 gold star players suck.

Not necessarily. Hal Lee in 1931 historical is a 1-star gold player and I picked him up either through waivers or FA from the Phillies and he has good talent ratings that saw him increase from a 49 contact to a 67 contact in 1 year, batting at least .330 and rise to 2.5 stars as an everyday player.

i'm an accountant. before cell phones came with memory, i never had any phone number written down. they were all memorized. and baseball stats have been a passion since i was 13 years old.

LMAO.

Anyway, you can use Catobase to track players' ratings over their career. Also, gold stars take actual performance into account, as well (not just ratings).
