    My 1st round draft pick loses talent after the first sim following the draft and then again over the off-season.

    oh, my fans were not happy about losing Krull, Bemudez and Soto...fan interest drops to 27th in the league.

    My 1st round pick loast talent after the draft and again over the off-season as well. I don't think I've ever had so much talent loss compared to talent gains in a league before.

    Look at real MLB. Every year a team drafts 30+ players. If 1 player makes it to the majors it's considered a decent draft. I think its a fairly good mirror of the real minor leagues. Look at Baseball America top 10 lists for 5 years ago, only 1 or 2 are usually still considered valuable.

    But how often do the experts and scouts downgrade the analysis of a prospect's talent level a mere week or two after the draft?

    I'm starting to grow a little bitter towards this league.

    I'm not just talking about specs. I had numerous young (guys in their 20s) players lose talent for no reason.

    I think this is sarcasm.... But never the less. I've been just of big of a complainer as anyone about my talent losses. But that said. I love this league. This is the closest league to real life as there is. Honestly, a 10 contact player should be an Albert pujols or a Joe DiMaggio. A once a decade type player. 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.
