One last thing, though. Don't Baez and Alcantara both have 2014 stats at the MLB level? (Forgive me, not a big Cubbies guy) If they were solid the year before, that could also be the 22 in your last year's weight coming through as well.
Yes. They were both exceptionally awful.

By the overall ratings (and you do have the 5 in your AI evaluation) its actually a really, really close decision
When this is changed from 5 to 0 .... the lineup does not change.

Hell ... when it is changed to ANYTHING, it does not change. This, itself, makes me wonder if this setting actually doesn't do anything aside from change the headline ratings (but actually has zero effect on AI) ... I'm not claiming this as fact...but it does make me wonder..

Could it be a little wonky? Yeah
Frankly, its extremely frustrating that you spend several hours doing something and attempt to set a game up to 'maximize' the OOTP AI in order to get a quality result and this is what you are stuck with ...

You ask the AI to base the evaluation on 'stats' (and even if you ask it based on ratings or even 100% stats... NOTHING CHANGES!) ... and you get an AI playing a clearly inferior hitter with horrific stats (especially against RHP) over a clearly superior hitter with exceptional stats (especially against RHP) when both players are essentially equal fielders.

Total hitting points (total of current ratings for offense)
Russell: 280 (56 average on an 80 scale)
Baez: 235 (47 average on an 80 scale)

With the statistics more than bearing this out.

Frustrated spender of $40 and hours of time feeling more than wasted : /

Any thoughts on how to help avoid such nonsense?
