This has been discussed before, more in "0 ADV OWNERS SHOULDN'T VETO BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW!!!!" form, but it has been discussed. However, I'm coming at it from a different angle.
I don't play in many worlds where owners still maintain an ADV budget. But, when I do, it's almost impossible to trade with someone who does have money in ADV. In the most recent case, I kind of hit a roadblock in an attempt to trade B-type players(as I saw it).
My pitcher has 300+ IP in his career. Solid but not spectacular with 1.3 WHIP and 3.5 ERA. But he's not that good. My D helps him a lot. LH, good control(that magical 90), league average splits and solid pitches. He's deserving of a BL spot but probably doesn't make it as a starter on a playoff team.
The player I attempted to acquire looks a lot like he'll be a bad 2B/CF thus making him a good LF. With 20m training, he went from 69 to 74 in range and, with a league average FI, he went from 46 to 52 glove in his first full season. He certainly looks like he'd be a very good hitter for a CF or 2B. Not so much for a LF. My experience tells me he's like to end up 80-82 range but will struggle to get to 65 in glove. That puts him in LF, possibly GG LF-type, but I don't think he carries the bat. Therefore, he's a B-type player.
So it got me thinking. If the ADV skewers the other owner's view, or if I'm just wrong about development, worlds who have a good mix of ADV/no ADV must be a nightmare to trade in. Two owners can look at 2nd year players and see entirely different players.
Thoughts?
