Every single team out here will want those kind of pitchers, and every single team needs them. No need to come out at people. Now, with this new system, yea it will take a very long time TO get used. But I guess it's part of evolution. Pitchers in the game will get worse and worse. BTW when I said "teams with great pitchers" I meant teams of the past, present and future. Now I know this is a fact: Las Vegas and Saratoga (no offense) have been doing the stack and pack strategy to get to the top. I've used the same strategy. I've also used the strategy of getting ahead of the ball game (with my fielders, I already have a few ready to play ball in Majors in a couple of years) Now, I know your talking for the lower league people mig, and you're probably thinking I'm in the Big League team's sides. I'm not. I'm just trying to make a way for the game to get better. And end of story : )

But the only way we have to judge is from the SI. To find that untapped skill is just a crap shot. If you take 5 players from the free agent pool. You might get lucky and find one of the untapped players you speak of. Just like in the real world. More info on the players or minor league games would help to find these gems you speak of.

You make a claim and your team goes to bottom of list. Four players I put claims on went to the same two teams. So they got two players they claimed and I was out of luck...

Some went to other teams and some went to free agency instead to me, although i had one open roster spot. so atleast one player of them had to be on my team by waiver claim.
