Players making huge strides with the transition to OOTP X?

I'm not talking about your top 100 prospect who has finally developed. I'm talking about the BLB veterans who was average who is now a really good player.

Anyone seen any of these guys on their own teams? How are those players doing that got insane arbitration numbers?

The main one I have seen is Morgantown's pitcher, Anselmo Altahirano. Former MR. Journeyman. His arbitration last year was $280k. He put up a 6.45 ERA in 60 innings last year. This year he got $4.8 million. OSA has him rated 8-5-7. My scout, through all the years of having the player on my team, and after, had him 6-2-5.

Now, in three starts, is 2-1, 17 IP, 20 Ks, 1.59 ERA....wow!

It's because the game has a different endurance system now. Anyone can start and throw 100+ pitches, endurance basically determines how successful they'll be when they reach 100.

Plus, Altahirano has two quality pitches... and has a third pitch... thus giving him the ability to start.

It's more than that. His ratings went through the roof.

[Lintyfresh85]

Oh. My scout is saying he's always had the same ratings.

Odd.

Kang has had a little resurgance in ratings and performance.

My scout loves Herb Lefebre, and he was tearing the cover off the ball. Then, he goes and tears his kneecap up and is gone for 7 months.

[Carlos]

Jennings got an insane raise and still sucks.

[Delandis]

Bill Faircloth is starting off pretty well.

My exp with 10 is that MR can be pretty good starters if they have the right things. Like Linty said I feel the fatigue for pitchers is very different. And my scout has always had Altahirano rated high.

[Jistic]

It has made Cliff Burgett a piece of crap. Hell he never hit for great average, now he has no power anymore and he dropped form the top players list. Crap.

[Lintyfresh85]

Are you sure? It looks like he started his decline in 1987.
