The player i'm thinking of dropping is a Great Hitter (Jaime Rendon, ID#192023) though. Is that a no-no? I'm very hesitant to drop a player with that designation. How do experienced managers feel about this? Thanks.

I've cut lots of "Great Hitters", and kept even more who turned out to be duds. Palu and Berrera are a couple recent examples. So I wouldn't be afraid of cutting a guy just because he has that scouting report. It does make me do a double take on the player though, and you can be sure someone will pick up any guy you drop with that rating. Rendón looks like a pretty average prospect. A bit of a slant towards hitting lefties over righties. May have a little more power than he is showing, but doesn't have a good GB/FB to support it. Has a solid build for the OF, and all of his hit ratings are progressing well. Will probably be a little on the low side for PD in the end. Any cut is a gamble, but I think Rendón's upside is just as an above average OF who should probably be vLHP platoon. Not a bad prospect, but unlikely to be a superstar. Seems like a reasonable cut (without looking at the rest of your roster).
