I already sent a number of examples directly to OOTP support, and there was acknowledgement that they're working on the issue. But one of the best examples is Doug Potestio, who made his minor league debut in 1980.

Potestio had some fantastic minor league stats that year, but OOTP converts those low-level class A stats into 5-star MLB talent. His initial ratings make him one of the top starters in baseball and a #1 starter for any MLB club.

OOTP has done this in every instance where Potestio gets imported into my saves and test saves, and I've ended up having to delete him each time to eliminate the problem.

Similar problems occur with other players, but it usually only affects a handful of players in a given draft class, and most aren't as extreme as Potestio's case. Usually it involves players with really good initial stats in what OOTP classifies as the BC level. But it certainly doesn't happen with everyone or in any way that I can identify as a consistent pattern or common denominator.
