that's what I thought...still can't figure it out.

Here's another example...Henderson Monge, age 27. Control down (83 to 82), vsL (58/57), P2 (61/60)...

When did you demote this guy?

he was demoted after the ratings went down, so it shouldn't have been a factor.

I had another team in different league roll over and nobody's ratings went down like with this team.

So, it seems it isn't coaching (player in ML had pitching coach with 96 pitching rating), isn't age, Patience, Makeup, or any one specific transaction. It isn't the Training budget ($20mm this season, $17mm last season). Isn't this year's coaching cuz ratings were down before we hired coaches.

Last year was my first with this team, which I placed in San Francisco, so if anything the park would have helped the pitcher ratings.

We had the worst record in league, so maybe all the losing impacted them? I'm reaching for explanations at this point...unless it was just arbitrary.
