    You could say it happens all the time, when teams think a player is really talented and then when he's playing against other pros he doesn't elevate his game. If you think of talent ratings as a scouting report rather than actual talent levels. IRL there are no talent ratings, just guessing and scouting reports.

    that's why I was comparing it to scout analysis. I didn't say anything about real life talent numbers.

    i doubt many scouts change their mind after 2 weeks. I can see over the offseason, though. That happens a lot.

How many teams in the MLB start a Paul Janish who would have a 5 or 6 contact. How many "power" hitters have a high contact as well? And pitching? There's only ever been a few 10-10-10 pitchers in history in my opinion. But there a few around. If you want huge talent swings you can join Hybrid or even to an extent Molinas. Both leagues are run very well and I'm in both. But, no offense to Molina or OM, this is my favorite league because of the talent (or lack there of). And the fact you have to do it within the financial constraints make it even better. So talent loses happen, yeah it sucks. But it's a total crap shoot anyway. Have fun, take gambles, but don't hate on the best league there is.

    It was sarcasm.

    Just a bit frustrated, but know I am happy to be here. After two absolutely terrible seasons, I have nothing to show for it.

    It would be nice to have one prospect not lose talent.

    Just pretend your team is a snake, waiting in the weeds, preparing to pounce when the rest of the division least suspects it.
    In your defense, Chicago has been desolate for quite some time, keep at it and things will turn around. Kansas City is a great example of this!

    Minnesota was AWFUL when I took them over (pre 2010). I had like 3 prospects and a 4-5 league average guys on the entire roster and like 50 million dollars in debt from a previous regime. Don't be afraid of being creative and trading anything not nailed down. Some of my bigger impact trades are the little ones that I am sure the TC probably laughed at.

    I would make trades if people didn't low ball me every time.

    If I remember correctly, when I made my block, you were upset that you had already made certain deals.

    In case anyone is wondering.. Lippincott, Secrest and all the others are still available. Just don't get upset when I don't accept your 3* spect for one of them.

    Yeah, I would have thrown an offer at you. Not that Shealy and Trusheim disappointed, but I really liked Ryan Secrest.

    Most of us are in need of pitching. Pitching is like...the white tiger.
