I figured grab a bunch of 25 and 26 year old players from FA that could grow a bit to run the team until I can get some prospects to replace them. He was one of the better players I grabbed. I'm just trying to understand how he is pitching so well. Edit: And thanks for the replies. You guys are helpful. Updated Tuesday, September 9 2014 @ 12:27:18 am PDT

Steve Indeed, he's an exception in such he's got an SI of just 90 even tho his potential is 14 And since he was not left out of a roster for more than a few weeks, and he played his share of Major League innings over the past few seasos, I wonder why he's a case of Arrested Development. Or, .maybe that's not the case. May be that he developed, almost to his full potential, but the SI is lying. There's something in the rules about SI missing by a 20% factor. Add 2 more points to each of his skills, and he's a 100+ player. In such case his production is just fair.

The team leading your division has one guy hitting .286 that's leading the team. The division as a whole has a lot of guys hitting .230 or less. You're also near the top defensively. I wouldn't be asking why this guy is so good. I'd be asking why more of your guys aren't that good.
