Because of that, we won't be able to do too accurate a job with some of the minor league filler type players. What would be useful is to know which players with these '0' ratings might be 'important', for whatever reason - whether because they ranked on some prospect lists, were high draft choices, or are otherwise well known - if we know about those guys, we can rate them accurately, time permitting. We've rated everyone on the BA team top 30 lists, but we haven't always checked Sickels' or BP's lists, for example.
So, what does that mean when you didn't rate someone? Are their ratings random? Or are they appropriate for the level they are at? Or something else?

I guess what always confuses me about the roster sets is that there are some rated players , some non-rated players, and maybe some partially rated players, but no indication of which are which. I understand that most of the minor leaguers are really just names with bogus ratings, but it would be cool if I could know exaclty which ones those are. Then I could either rate them, or randomize them, or give them league average stats, or something.

It's not just gap potential or control potential, BTW. I've seen the "1" ratings in stuff, control, speed, and stealing, too. I've also seen it for infield range, which is okay...except for infielders, of course!

This set is by far the best major league set I have seen. If there is anything I could assist with to get in cleaned up a bit, I would be happy to help.
