2013 Historic Start

Smirley · 02-25-2021, 09:06 PM

I started a 2013 play through as the Miami Marlins. I went up until the Amateur Draft and was shocked by what I saw. Majority of the players in the draft were already at least 2 stars and many 3. Also there was a 4 star 26 year old Jose Abreu and also the international free agents for that year were in the draft like Devers and Torres. Does anyone know what happened or what settings I have wrong that could have caused this?

according to Baseball-Reference:

Abreu - Signed by White Sox 10/29/13 as amateur FA
Devers - Signed by Red Sox 8/9/13 as an amateur FA
Torres - Signed by Cubs 7/2/13 as an amateur FA

so to have them appear in the 2013 FA draft is accurate.

They were international free agents so they should not be in the draft. But should be international free agents for that year. If the game is not able to put them as International then it makes sense to have them in the draft. But then my other question is why are their ratings so high at only 16/17 years old?
