The poise rating sounds like a mechanism that will be used to generate statistical outliers that would not be generated as easily from a DIPS based game engine. If that is the case, I would hope that any sort of 'poise' rating would be hidden.
Still, I share Aadik's concerns about the poise rating. I think the idea of veterans possessing it over young players is generally bunk. Many of the pitchers typically cited as evidence of 'poise' existing are very good pitchers who hang because they have a more impressive skillset than a typical major league pitcher. If 'poise' exists and is so important, why don't we see more pitchers like Moyer? How come more medicore veterans don't develop this poise and outpitch their 'stuff'?
