We can surely improve that ratings algorithm to avoid the odd Gap Potentials and Control Potentials (though it's useful to be able to find these guys easily, which may be why these odd ratings are present), and we can fix up as many guys as we have time for before the first patch, but as I said above, giving guys proper ratings is very time consuming, which is why there are still a few guys with 'generic' ratings lurking around. Those 'generic' guys should almost all be minor league filler types - we got all 900 prospects from the BA handbook into the game, for example. Of course, like you, I want a set that has every player rated properly, but realistically speaking, given all of our time constraints, there will need to be some 'generic' guys even when the next patch comes out - we'll just try to make those 'generic' guys more plausible looking players.

I think that's what I had in mind...just to be able to make the generic guys look more plausible...that's a great way to say it.
One minor point, I keep seeing people say "gap pot" and "control pot" as the only ratings that have the "1" ratings. There are actually those odd ratings on several attributes across the board, including speed and SB, and also the other pitching attributes, not
just potential. No biggie, just pointing it out for anyone that might be looking to improve the process.
