1) Why draft and sign17-19-year-olds when they're signing price is much higher yet ratings much lower than say, 26-year-olds in the draft pool? Especially since the older player with decent ratings can immediately play in the Majors, but the teenager may take years to develop?
2) Can skipping the Minors and playing a teenager straight from the Draft Pool on your Major team inhibit the player's development potential?
3) How can the A.I. play its pitchers well into the red on the stamina indicator bar and get away with it, while if my pitchers get close to red they start walking and hitting batters and giving away hit after hit?
4) Does re-scouting a player (scouting him again to raise the level of accuracy) do anything? You'd think it would improve the accuracy of the player's ratings, but I'm not seeing that.
5) What's the difference between the "DEF" rating shown beside each player in a game, and the player's ratings for Range, Error, Arm and DP? And do those ratings decrease if a player is played outside his primary position? Sorry, that's 6 questions.
