It was probably a mistake to try to make my point anecdotally.
So I'll just post the following facts and then leave it alone.
In my current save, it is May 16, 2021.
At least 10 players from the 2020 draft are in the majors, having never seen the minors. Most are doing
extremely well.
Along with those players, there are literally dozens of guys in the big leagues who have never played above A ball and some never above rookie ball. Some are struggling, but few. Most are holding their own and some are excelling.
Case in point is Thanaj Thomas (Pittsburgh). Good prospect? Yes.
But to be in the majors at this point and producing the numbers captured in the screenshot?
Too many. Too soon. Doing too well.
I know the devs meant well. In past versions it seemed like it took forever for some guys to reach the bigs. But in an effort to reflect the current more aggressive promotion of young players, it has gone WAY past the point of realism.
