I signed him in 2049 as a Free Agent and I don't see where he was with another team in those intervening 5 years. He spent 2049 with me in 'A' level and 2050 in 'AA' level. I feel he made good progress during both seasons. Now "Dominguez" is 23 years old with a Skill Rating of "95". He's had 91 At Bats in Spring Training, batting .253. His OBP is .284, with 7 Home Runs and an OPS of .823. His fielding is not that good yet: 4 errors in 60 attempts (.933) but some extra 'pop' on my bench would be a welcome addition. I really want to get him on track to the Majors but the Scouts decline to recommend promoting him even to "AAA"; when I pushed him up one level the scouts said he seems a little overmatched. Are the scouts usually right?

Stick people with a bunch of bad picks throughout the season, and then dump a bunch of talented guys on FA. It would just make the poor distribution of talent through the draft even worse. Hopefully those undrafted guys just disappear. That is how it used to work at least.
