unless I had significantly better choices, Id stick around in Low A ball for a while, maybe get an MBA on the side, and then become an agent

For the record, (almost) all agents have Law degrees, not MBAs. After all, their business is contracts.

Some more surprises coming from the minor league crew would be nice. Something more than the present DITR.

Over their careers, why are there so many underdevelopers in ratings, vs. projections?

Why are there not more overdevelopers vs. projections?

Most of all, I would like to see accelerated re-development, usually, for players coming back from demotion reductions, inactivity reductions, and some of those from injury reductions.

Poor development skills on the part of the owner, or unrealistic projections.

I've seen guys exceed projections.

Something for nothing?

Sigh....

1. Projections are supposed to be those of scouts. Scouts often overestimate players. Often, they will also underestimate players.

2. So have I, or else I would not have said, "Why are there not more...?"

3. Gladly, I don't even know how the third comment relates.

Here's an obvious one they need: triple plays.

Some things need to decrease, like OFs dropping routine fly balls. A bad throw is a much more likely E than a dropped fly, but you hardly ever see it.
