However. Objectively, I take real umbrage with the potential ratings of two marquee players.

I have little doubt that you're each going to hiss and spit at me in unison for this, but it bears mentioning somewhere...:
(If, in fact, PECOTA also churns out potential ratings, well, here's some Bryce Harper sycophantism.)
Could someone who's not dismissing me out-of-hand please briefly address the potential ratings of Bryce Harper and Yasiel Puig, relative to one another?...

Not going to dismiss you, you make some excellent points. Potential ratings are not set by PECOTA, so some discussion regarding them is certainly acceptable, especially when done as thoroughly and factually as you have.
The deal with Harper is that we had to lower his potential ratings during beta. They were awfully high and he was essentially filling them out entirely during the 14 season.
As a result, he was hitting 50+ HR's and batting .330 in most 2014 season sims. So we lowered his potentials to prevent that from happening. We may have lowered them too much, and/or Puig's may be too high.
I'm all for taking another look at this. Do you agree Howard?
EDIT: Just going to add that this is the perfect example of the proper way to make a ratings related argument and get our attention.
