I run fictional leagues and, so, I am concerned with minor league stats. Why? Who knows the impact on a hitting prospect of hitting .050 with K's in 40% of ABs his first couple of years as a professional. (edit: some players seem very unhappy about their batting stats.) And, it becomes very hard to use minor league stats to tell who is doing well: because of the very low BAs I'm getting the spread of BAs of minor league players is lower than if the average BA was higher.

Plus it is hard to see what pitchers are doing well in the minors because their stats are all way off the high end: 15+ K's per 9 innings

Plus, you have realism to consider.

I'd love to just let the game do its thing...but this problem seems both harmful to game play (as I play it) and it must be a bug.
