Scouting question?

[Riverman]

When my scout says:

"Simply hopeless at the plate. Probably won't hit more than .310 over the course of a season." What the hell am I supposed to think about that kind of comment?

From what I have seen, the first part of the overall summary -"Simply hopeless at the plate" - looks at all of the player's batting ratings and averages them, then selects the first part of the comment from that average. The ".310" part of the comment looks at the contact rating only.

In other words, I would expect the player you are referring to is a 6-2-2-2-2 for potential or something very close to that.

Doesn't really answer your question, but Linty asked the same question on the OOTP boards
