Suggestion: Change the development model so that when a young batter has already reached (or nearly) his potential, his potential is more likely to go up than down.

Reason: In real life baseball, a batter's youth, relative to his league, is the single most promising statistical indicator of his development. In OOTP7, on the other hand, a 22-year-old or 24-year-old star player is probably about to decline.

Importance: High.
