time in the minors

[qetwry]

this isn't really a bug, but just something i've noticed with the addition of the minor league history for rookies..
(btw, i do love this enhancement)

anyway, i've noticed that some franchise-type rookies spend awfully many years in single-A and double-A before they become prospective rookies. And from their dominating stats, it doesn't seem they needed the time to adjust to professional baseball, and that they are just throwing away valuable years of their career.

this isn't anything really important, but just thought i'd bring it up.
thanks

Interesting...we'll check on that. That seems to be the exact opposite of what's happening in the MLB, with players like Josh Beckett essentially skipping the minor leagues (he was drafted, started the next year in Single-A, and was on the major league roster by September).

The Becketts are note really the norm though... with over 600 players drafted each year... most spend several years in the minors before they can bring it all together..

Yeah, I know. I was just saying how for exceptionally good rookies, the game is making them stay in the minors longer, while in real life they stay in the minors shorter.
