I agree; on the flip side though, if your choice is between a 33 year old who doesn’t have counting stats and a 23 year old with the same ratings, ML teams will almost always choose the 23 year old unless you have some very specific circumstances (namely, you’re in contention and you absolutely need to count on, say, 2 wins from that position - I believe that projections for prospects tend to be every bit as reliable as projections for veterans IRL but there is for sure still a bias towards guys who’ve proven it). IME the game is not nearly as ruthless with iffy vets as it could/should be, especially when it comes to rebuilding teams.
