Okay, it's April 19, and feeling impatient to see how my guys were doing, I asked for a full rescouting.

Results: 102 green + signs, 214 red - signs.

I have dedicated an outrageous amount of money to player development. More than quadrupled it from last year, even though I couldn't really afford it -- it's 25% of my entire annual budget.

I hunted for the best coaches I could find, ones that work well with young talent and have the best possible relationships with every team, up and down the farm system, money no object.

I watch players to try to only play them where they fit, give them playing time, and avoid them getting shellacked.

And still, it feels like everything I have spent countless hours working so hard for is going straight down the toilet.

Is this normal? Because there's nothing more discouraging than seeing a report like that, and it's not the first one.

If my best efforts still result in my players regressing twice as fast as they advance -- and this is nearly entirely a young franchise -- I don't know why I am bothering with this.

I was sure I read other people saying they get a ratio of 2 + to 1 -, not 2 - to 1 +. What am I doing wrong?
