As I tried to mention in the previous draft thread, some of the issue here is simply in changing our preconceptions of what a future MLB player looks like at draft time in OOTP.

That the ratings are initially lower doesn't mean that any given 3rd round pick or 8th round pick is any less likely to become an MLB player in OOTP14 than he was in 13.

It just means that it's necessary to stop looking at the ratings the exact same way we did in OOTP13 and to recognize he need to re-train our brains to understand that yes, this guy without what seems to be incredible all-star potential still has the potential to be a solid MLB player, if things go right with his development.
I do agree. I was more a bit shocked first time I hit the draft. I thought something was wrong with my league.

The thing I like most about it is that I'm not severely disappointed and frustrated a few years later when that 7th round 75/80 dude gets knocked down to a 23/80.

It's directly related to whether it's fun or not - that's what you were complaining about all along.

Our idea of fun is different, nuff said.
