Well, Baseball America updated...

Not the method at the top of my list of guesses.

Actually, I'm just going to strike that one down straight away. I don't see how that method could be applied given the data we have to look at. A +1 on the player development chart is always represented by an actual +1 change in ratings presented on the scouting report.

Gotcha ya. Just was wondering about that actually. Ill see a -1 also, but overall no real ratings changed.

[BradZ]

That when you see a +1, but his rating doesnt go up?

How do see a 3.5 rating?

Sort by ratings.

























Boom.

Yes, collusion. I have no idea what method Linty uses buy I can hazard a guess.

[BradZ]

I'm now officially out of my league.

That can't possibly be true. You have Pat and Carlos with you. That's pretty good comp . . . well, that's company with you.

Collusion!

Yes, collusion. I have no idea what method Linty uses but I can hazard a guess.

That, my friend, is what they call a "trade secret".

3.5 for AAA, 4 for BLB

And that's cool, your own business.

But I'm just curious. He's a 3 Control now in AA. What rating does he have to be to be in AAA? And then what level in the bigs?

He has 1 point of growth left unless you're banking on some POT development which is lightning in a bottle.

I guess I develop players differently than everyone else.

I have certain ratings that must be met before a prospect is ready to advance. Maybe that hurts me in the long run... but I feel like the system works, so far.

Why would you keep a guy 6 in Stuff and a 7 in Movement in AA?

He's already "developed" 75% of his control and near 100% of everything else.

There's not much left to develop. There's only a little AAA season left I would use it.

And I'm not saying this to be smart, but he's your guy so you gotta do what you feel is best. I'm just saying if he was mine it would be a few AAA starts, if he swims Sep callup. "Kid" will be 25 in the off season. If he can't handle AAA just let him finish the year there.

At the same time, the next time I devop a top player I'll let ya know.
