It's hard to tell. You have to remember that those numbers being reported don't accurately reflect what numbers the sim is using for the player. It's suppose to be the scout's interpretation. OOTP has a feature that allows each team to hire a scout, and depending on how good or bad the scout is, the numbers you are given from the scout regarding a player could be pretty accurate or pretty far off. With that feature turned off all teams use the same scout and he is average, which means he can be wrong pretty often. I've had batters ranked at 3 for hitting hit .300 and have had batters ranked at 7 hit below .200. In fact Everett was a 4 at hitting and was above .300 all season for me. Bottom line is the scouts info isn't always right, so you take that information into consideration and watch how he performs in the minors and make your own call. If he's hitting over .300 in AAA with those numbers, then you'll probably be alright. But is he's hitting .250 at single A then he obviously isn't ready. I've got plenty of accomplished OFs:I'll take a pass on Carl.I'm thinking of starting this guy in CF for me:Downloading the latest info. I'll take a look...What can I get for Carl Everett (.304 24 101, $3.5M salary)?I have a lot of young pitchers.Whatcha got? Could use an accomplished OFer or a 2B.Let's trade people. I need some ####in' pitching.

How bad will hit with the 2 for AVG and Avoiding Ks???
Everett, Ramirez, Wilkerson, Pascuci, Sledge, Chavez
and not enough room for them to all play. But Everett is the only one I'm willing to part with right now. So I'll be shopping him around to the rest of the league. I probably won't get an SP for him, but a couple decent prospects would be nice.
This is great info.Is it a safe assumption that if they've been hitting well at each level that the scout is likely lowballing his ratings? Or is there also just as good of a chance that he's a AAAA type player and just won't succeed in the majors. I'm just wondering if its a 50/50 thing or tilted more one way or another.
If I sim a season on my machine with him in the roster would that give me an idea?
Without Sori I'm not sure. I'll take a look.



Ortiz will be a Tiger... (maybe)
