Some observations:

-while Millwood is certainly no frontline starter with those component ratings, there's no way he should be a 20 overall rating guy as in OOTPX. 43 as in OOTP9 I'll accept, but 20 no way. He should be a 5th or spot starter on the average team I'd say.

-I don't see Rocky Cherry could possibly be even a borderline starter. I thought I read that you had to have at least 3 decent pitches. Certainly his 15 out of 100 changeup doesn't qualify. If it was good enough, then yeah, I could see him being on about par with Millwood.

-I think maybe what's happening here is Millwood's pitches, while he has 4, his 3 best ones are all not that great (they're all yellow), maybe not even acceptable to be a starter. While Cherry only has 2 serviceable pitches, they're both pretty decent (both are green). Now I don't really have an opinion on what it should it take pitch-wise to be a starter (well, I might, but not for now) and forgetting for a moment about the mind problems of playing with real players, I think if OOTP9 would always have these guys in their old roles, then I think OOTPX should have a conversion system that tries to respect that as much as possible and I'm sure they tried, but it looks like it may need a tad bit of a tweaking.
