Figure I'd jump on the who do you take bandwagon and ask about something I've been seeing a lot more since the update.

Without seeing current ratings for draft prospects or internationals, it makes it a lot harder to evaluate basic questions we used to have a pretty good idea on like will this guy have the DUR/STA to start, or reach a STA high enough to be useful as a reliever, as well as issues with range and arm strength.

Hypothetically, if you saw 2 guys with the exact same projected ratings, but one had a DUR/STA of 73/21 and the other had DUR/STA of 56/37, which one would you take? Assuming they could each get you an ERA of 3.50 or so.

What changes in projected ratings would make you change your mind? One thing I was trying to look into a bit was whether there were more guys with the durability to start, but not the stamina, versus guys with the stamina to start, but not the durability. That could shed some light on which rating is more likely to be projected wrong and be a dealbreaker.

A lot has to depend on how much you have in scouting.  You could end up with a 64/12 or 44/23 with those guys.   Neither of them will give you very many innings but I'd prefer the 56/37 because, if he ends up with 20ish STM, he can at least pitch a full inning.    I usually set 12 STM guys at 10/15 and sometimes they only get thru 2 batters.

I agree with you in the context I wrote above, but just realized my question doesn't make any sense. None of those guys can start because I switched the DUR and STA.

Should have said: STA of 73, DUR of 21. STA of 56, DUR of 37.

Assuming good scouting, let's say 16.

Well, in that case, I know you're very unlikely to get 56/37.   Those guys are few and far between.   Assuming the same "come up short", he's 44/23.   I'll work with that, Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Andres Castilla, but he becomes a 3 inning starter and I found that to be an ineffective use of him.   So he becomes a LRA or SUA.     I'd rather have the other guy even if he's 61/12.   He can spot start without wearing out your bullpen.
