Only thing I can say about Ambill's critique is saying things like "BABIP is too high" doesn't really work. I really prefer the new stats to ratings system that the dev team created. Makes it much easier. That was you can just pop in the stats of a projection and it gives you the ratings. That's why I think it's easier to just say "AVG is too high by 20 points" or something of that nature. Things I noticed about the Red Sox:
Clay Buchholz has less potential than Justin Masterson in the set which isn't true. Buchholz was always known to have ace-2 potential, but more risky to reach it. Masterson is known to have 2-3/top set-up man swing potential with a likely chance of getting to it (which he did).
Over inflated ratings for Will Middlebrooks. He's extremely raw almost to the point of calling him a recently signed international player. I think his potential rating is a bit too generous considering the chances he reaches that are very very slim.
Ratings too low for Casey Kelly. Kelly is the best arm in the Red Sox system under AA right now and has 1-2 potential. I think he was a bit underrated in the set.
Also, Federowicz and Wagner are both guys that have the potential to be big league catchers. Wagner more glove than bat, but Federo shows good potential as a decent contact hitter.
