A-F, 1-6, 2-8, wouldn't be difficult to manage or be more time consuming.

It just wouldn't show anyone what they really want to see. Is that A an 84 or a 99? That's what people want to know. They may scream for "realism" but they want to know where a guy is going to be when they draft him at #7.

Any number of HBD rating combinations could produce a Hitting rating of 7, or a Fielding rating of 6, etc. You'd inherently have busts and sleepers.

This is the best idea yet and the most realistic.
