D Rating

[SonnyWest]

How many agree that a D rating in Baseball should not be used because of how much players change from year to year? Its either C or higher.

I see so many Rosters with D ratings and the following year (real life) that player makes the show lol

Yes. Sorry for the confusion. The D potential. Someone in here, years back, said something along the lines about removing D potentials and leaving them at a Low C instead (70-72). His reasoning was that In baseball you can easily go from a nobody in AA to a MLB utility man in 1 season.

I look at this way, D is still a passing grade. So some D potential players should graduate out of the minors into the majors. And hopefully when/if rosters are ever increased from 90+ to 120+, we will see more F potential players in the Show, players who almost never even get a cup of MLB coffee. Having D potential players keeps utility players in the game, and keeps it from being overflooded with too many all-star caliber players. All-star caliber players who are all-star starters one year, back to the minors the next, back to all-star the third year, back to the minors the fourth year. Having D potential players keeps it to where there are players who rotate back and forth from MLB to MiLB without it being the all-star caliber players who are yo-yoing back and forth from majors to minors. Hope that makes sense.

Isn’t the issue more that they have the wrong guys with a D potential? It’s usually saved for older random FAs that haven’t pitched in awhile and most RPs now anyway. So there cant be too many in that category. The problem before was legit MLB players who weren’t too old had it before it was sure they would pan out. But that’s been fixed the last couple of years.

I've never understood why MLBTS doesn't utilize the 20-80 grading system for showing overall and potential ratings. The letters make little sense to me.

Don't I know it brother:
A=90-99.
B=80-89.
C=70-79.

So then you naturally think:
D=60-69.
F=50-59-

But no.
D=50-69.
F=49 and below.

Go figure.

Because they added it in for the draft a few years ago and people lost their minds and complained that it was too confusing.
