Casey McGehee (Milwaukee) should not be an F.

He hit .301 last year with 16 home runs and was in contention for Rookie of the Year.

A for everyone on the Giants, including anyone I get through FA or trade. Everyone else gets an F. The Dodgers get a Z.

Sorry for the clutter, I couldn't help it.

It seems like people are posting that all the players that are already currently stars should have A potential ratings. Is Dustin Pedroia still going to develop so much that he deserves an A rating? (I'm a Red Sox fan, I'm picking one of my own to show I'm not biased) Isn't potential grading the ability to improve their current skills?

Chances are, a guy like Albert Pujols has maxed out his potential at his age. Will he improve? Maybe. Could he decline? Maybe. Guys like that should have C potential, because there isn't that much room to grow.

Am I misunderstanding? Is saying a player has B potential just mean that the max he could reach as a player is having his rating bar filled 80-89%?

I'll believe there's going to be a fix to Player Potential when I hear it from Kevin Butler.

Logically one would think that potential ratings in any game would be to show a players ceiling. However in this game, for some reason, they made it so potential affects the players staying power at the rating they start out with.

Hope that helps.

Plus, it really affects how teams value their players. That's why when you sim/play through a season with the default rosters, the Twins are desperate to trade/release Joe Mauer, and the Red Sox place Jon Lester on the trading block immediately.

Mark Melancon is one of the Yankees best prospects. His potential on TS10 is all D's. I'd say he is a least a B prospect and his velocity is 94-95.
