Every manager uses the same AI, so the only difference is how much of a bonus they provide. Hogan provides a huge bonus to both pitching and player development. He is leaps and bounds better than your previous manager.

I believe I cut him b/c I felt he could only DH, and I didn't want a DH with a 16 arm. But he grew into a prototypical lead-off guy, which is something the Dinos have lacked every season I've had the team aside from 2019. I've put a claim on Parra each time he's been available, but I think he may bear hard feelings for the Dinos as he's had little inclination to rejoin the team.

So a guy with 15 is going to reveal a lot slower than a guy with 20. So if you're revealing at less then half the rate of another manager, then you know you've got a stinker.

My Good/Above Avg/Above Avg/Very Good could translate to: 15/13/11/15 While a brand new Good/Above Avg/Avg/Very Good guy could translate to: 17/13/10/17 Which is why I made the switch. If you know a player is going to grade out on the low side of his scouting, another player might be better even if their scouting report isn't as optimal. Hogan I expect is probably going to be: 12/12/20/17 Updated Thursday, February 11 2016 @ 6:32:36 am PST

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9602 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Yeah, that would be my guess on Niwa as well. I'd really like a manager with high player dev too. I could tell that my old manager was never going to get there.
