He has the build of a nice player, but this? This the greatest gulf between scouted ratings and real performance that I've ever personally seen

Miranda is a nice example. 15 Hitting is rediculously low for a "very good hitter", but its obviously an underrated Rating. Although his Fielding may be overrated to compensate On the pitching side, I suspect Makoto "The Wizard" Matsui is underrated. As they age the valuation (scouting) continues to refine. Which I suspect is why I have so many guys still "improving" in their 30s. I think they may actually just be getting a more accurate valuation of their ratings.

I suspect due to sharpening. He will never actually reach POT 13. Most probably in part due to not getting enough time in AAA, but also because he is vastly underrated.
