But I wish you the best with your approach.  |
You can imagine or not imagine what you want. The fact is the game doesn't give us actual ratings to look at, which is why between the biased clouded view my Scout has (ratings) or being able to see and evaluate talent myself (stats), I will always lean on the stats and use ratings only as an error-check.
I also didn't say all relievers *perform* the same, but from a ratings perspective they do all tend to *look* about the same. I've attached a screenshot of the Pitcher Ratings (plus what I assume are the relevant other ratings) screen from my current offline sim (Feb 2023). I sure as heck wouldn't be able to decide on a single thing from looking just at that.
