Note. It is a little strange that Freddy Roberson does not make the cut without a DH. He has little fielding with a DH Roberson actually plays RF where he has a 6 rating. Given his stats any manager would be questioned as to why he isn't an everyday player. Ryan Hughes does not much off an edge in fielding 10 vs. 8 and the ratings are similar. So stats determining lineup should have Roberson over Hughes or Jamison when there is no DH. Jamison has good power ratings but no stats to speak of. Therefore, the AI must still be using ratings to determine the lineup although ratings are set to 0%.

This is just an extreme case to show the point. I wouldn't want 0% ratings but if ratings are still a heavy influence when I supposedly turned them off then there is a problem.

I guess what I am getting at here is that the AI use of stats should be a lie detector for scouting reports. If stats are not working properly in the evaluation then the AI believes what ever the scout tells him and bases decisions on the information and when shown it is likely false. I would like to have a little heavier role of stats so the manager at least gets a good laugh from the scouting report every now and then.
