See the signature...

Falchonelli wasn't great shakes at CF, but he could pass well enough.

I've always been of a mind that coaches made a difference, but it was small. I'm not sure that's true or not true now, but my team is pretty full on "good-not-great" kids, so I'm figuring it's time to maybe go all in on the system and see how they do. Worst that can happen is that the kids still die...

Great story. I, too, loved Lou Brock, despite the fact that I was a Cubs fan as a little kid growing up in South Bend, Indiana and getting all the games on WGN back when you could actually watch all the games -- as an older kid we moved to Louisville, and in that triangle I grew to follow the Cubs, ...

If you track it in a daily league, you'll see the first about five days are listed as something like the player "under assessment" ... which means the training staff is monitoring the player and has no assessment. From then, the tag changes sometimes daily. I've seen guys struggle and be frustrated ...

We are sending a couple future big-league coaches to school:

Ernesto Ramos (R-Pitching Coach): Teach Pitching +50 (or less??? Not sure the scale!)
Gilberto Nunez (A-Hitting Coach): Teach Hitting +50

One doing good, everyone else frustrated.

I'll be doing the Podcaster of the Year piece. I'll see how the next couple days go before I bite off a division preview, but if no one steps up and I have time, I'll do one. And for the new guys, the Media Guide is a place where there is no wrong content...well, within only limited boundaries, I su...

Timing is everything!

Just bumping...I'm hoping to be back home as early as Monday, and hopefully back to active again.

So, as a reminder.

Silver linings.

BO knows?

There goes the neighborhood.

I'm sure they don't.

To be clear, I have no real idea if this is wose or not.

Right. The core ratings themselves should not really change heavily, at least that's the goal.

That said, they are being shifted from the 200 point scale to the 500 point scale, to the fidelity of the match could shift things on the output side a little.

I think it's saying that (for example) the 4 players that had 11 Power in OOTP 24 (and were probably all 80s) averaged dropping 2.5 points of Potential. For example:

Player 1: 80 > 80
Player 2: 80 > 80
Player 3: 80 > 75
Player 4: 80 > 75

Would average a 2.5 Potential drop.

Great job.
