His OPS is reasonable for a platoon though. In terms of the 19, its likely one of two things. 1) His Ability is being over-rated, and he isn't actually that high. 2) He was initially under-rated by the scouts. Hard to tell which one it is, which is why I always rely on the performance at the end of the day. |

His defensive build looks better suited to RF than 3B to me, but if that's not where you have need than it may not matter. FWIW, I think he was probably under-scouted. A player's ratings can have fuzziness too, but unlike the scouting report skill ratings should sharpen over time. |

I've had guys who performed well above their ratings at old age, and then dropped off a cliff without appearing to lose anything. So I think some guys are perpetually over/under rated. I don't think the sharpening happens at a consistent rate for all players. Jaime Carrasco is a good example of this. I'm quite sure he was perpetually underrated. He always performed well above his ratings. Then one season after dropping 1 SI, he plummeted to his death. In my mind, I imagine he was losing SI, but wasn't showing up due to him being so horrible underrated in the first place. Updated Monday, February 15 2021 @ 6:37:46 pm PST |
