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

Mr. McLaughlin, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Not only that quote, but that entire scene is one of the best in film history......I choose.....business ethics....
What I mean by sorting by ratings....look at your entire organization by ratings...sort them in order of say, control, like in this example. You will probably have a few "6s" on control, a bunch of "5s" and on down. But they are sorted by order of the overall rating, not just the single digit. For example, your organization could have 15 players that have a "5" on control. The one at the top is probably a lot closer to a "6" then the guy at the bottom. Likely, the guy near the top is actually something like 550-599 and the guy at the bottom is probably 500-510. Hopefully that makes more sense.
With that said...it's still your scouts opinion and unless you are Clay Shaver, sometimes your scout is wrong.
I use to wait for the OSA reports to say "Ready".... then Andrew taught me his promotion formula (insert "having the Commish file" jokes). Since then, it's worked pretty well for me. I think I get a lot of guys who are maybe a half year early, but so far it's prevented sophomore slumps.
Disregard all of 1992 as there are guys in the big leagues that shouldn't be up there right now. But, you know, we had no choice.
But seriously, Denver has a system. Especially with its pitchers. It has worked well for us. Again, I rather some guys not be in the big leagues right now, but I also rather they face turmoil now than have to deal with free agent fill-ins on my staff.
The hitters...well, I won't pretend to know what the heck I'm doing with hitters. I've always had an eye for pitching in OOTP. Hitters continue to elude me.
I just go by the manual which confuses me even more.
Coaching / management
The coaching / managing ratings of the general manager, manager, bench coach, hitting coach, and pitching coach can all affect a player's development. See Personnel Ratings for more information.
Playing time
Minor league players who get little playing time might not develop as quickly as others. However, major league players and players on a reserve roster develop normally even without playing time.
Potential / individual qualities
Very talented players often (but not always) develop more quickly. In addition, some players simply develop more quickly than others. You might be baffled by the high-potential player who fails to live up to expectations, or be pleasantly surprised by the late-round draft pick who quickly advances.
Challenge
Players respond differently to challenges. Often, a player who is tearing up Double A hitting might not be developing very quickly, because he isn't being challenged. Similarly, putting an over matched rookie into your major league starting lineup could actually hurt his development.
