As far as which to prioritize, that depends on your philosophy. If you are planning to train up a bunch of young guys, you might want to get a guy who is Excellent at developing players.

By that I mean unless you are willing to roll with whatever veterans you can pull from waivers and free agency each season, because he would likely stunt the growth of any young players you might get.

These are my expectations: 16 12 9 14 20 9 17 20 110 Skill Index How accurate am I? If I'm not, what do you expect? Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

Hitting won't go above 13, because he doesn't have a positive hitting message. Likely going to top out around 105 or 106 and have a few more points in BC, PD, and fielding to make up the differences in your analysis. See the second post in this thread for how to read scouting reports. Updated Wednesday, September 28 2016 @ 6:19:19 pm PDT
