My offering. Laurence Kondo Due to the fact that the hitting and fielding would take up nearly the entirety of his skills, and based on the 800 OPS I think he will pop to a 13. Agree, Disagree, have a prospect you want looked at? post here and all will be revealed.

This new feature in potential is really unprecedented. I like that if you click draft history button you can see potential arrows up or down. But feel that a section in potential in "help menu & how to section"; in potential made by Steve should be updated or reworked. Also scouting reports reworded. For examples Very good potential should be 14 lowest they will fall down. Good potential lowest they will fall is 12. Above average potential lowest they will fall is 10. None reported should be 8-12 potential. Below average potential lowest is 6. Poor potential lowest is 4. Never making out of minors is zero. The maximum they will go above potential scouting reports should never be more than 3 points above reported potential. Example a none reported potential scouting report is lowest 8 potential but could pop 13 potential with excellent "Manager" in his development reported so if he is excellent at teaching pitchers and your player has "None" scouting report 8-12 is normal but a good Manager could pop 13pot.

I'd say hes almost definitely going to pop again though. already at 100 SI and just starting in AAA, if he gains 4 SI then he is officially a pot 13. also with 17 hitting hes looking like a rookie of the year candidate. And I appreciate all the information and discussion. I personally like the fuzziness of pot, gives me something else to think about when evaluating.
