if we had the ability to physically watch the player perform day in and day out, hit in the cage, take infield etc..a manager can talk to scouts and get a real scouting report answering the questions they want answered. We wouldn't need current ratings, but without those factors, we need something to count on. The leagues I've been a part of always use a 1-10 scale for ratings, which just as in real life gives you a 10 point cushion 1 way or the other. If a player is a 7 contact, he could be anywhere from 65-74 on a 100 point scale. And you then have to use stats to determine if he's closer to 74 or 65, which makes a huge difference over the course of a season
