[Fibonacci]

I agree that scouting reports should be more specific, as was suggested. However, I don't have a problem with the quality of ratings translators available (although I don't use them), or with the 50 = .260 BA predetermined formula. I think they are accurate as they are.

I just looked at a player at random, in this case Rocky Colavito. Rocky has a lifetime BA of .266, so his contact rating should be about 52, for example. His scouting report should read: an above average hitter with exceptional power, but he strikes out a lot. Keep in mind, that he hit a low of .238 and a high of .303 (in seasons with over 100 games played). The translators/formulas, (as well as scouting reports), are more accurate over a career, rather than for a single season.
