A vanilla straight 10s would give you 60 points. Your guy is showing 61. It's possible he may "sharpen" further, but given his scouting any gains may be offset by losses. I'd definitely invest some time in finding a new guy. It is not fun. But the bright side is when you find a good manager that is in his 40s you are set for like 25 seasons. That's like 7 real life years of play. |

Or cheat by dropping a manager off a bot team. Personally I consider Hitting development to be the most critical because pitchers don't seem to have a lot of issues developing when they hit the majors. While he might be able to get a couple more SI in another manager, I'm not sure they will have as nice a build. Most guys out there for free have some sort of glaring weakness. I actually like this guy's overall build. There is stud on the boards right now per chance, but he also has a hefty price tag. Updated Wednesday, November 20 2019 @ 10:16:44 am PST |

Or cheat by dropping a manager off a bot team. That's why it takes some time / effort to find a good one. Remember back before search by potential? Time / effort put into loading up player page after player page was a way to get ahead. Managers are maybe the last vestige of that. By grinding out a good manager you can give yourself an advantage. If you have upward aspirations, you shouldn't settle. Battle Creek's old manager was one of those S-tier guys. Can't recommend 8.6 million in salary for a lower division team. But I'm a little surprised he's fallowing. |

I mean, if a guy has a line that says "he's excellent at developing pitchers" but is only currently an 11 in Pitcher Dev, does that mean he's likely to increase that stat further? |

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Yes and no. The primary difference is that managers don't develop, they reveal. In other words, that Excellent guy who is showing 11 now is really an 18 (or something like that). He shows as an 11, but he performs as an 18 from day one. | ||

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9571 Haverhill Halflings III.1 | Have you seen any of his attributes actually drop? I'm not sure how the aging works with managers. Right now he still looks pretty good as long as he is performing to those numbers. | ||
