Players w/ Gap Power Potential too low vs their HR Power Potential
I've noticed about a dozen or so batters in each organization (mostly minor leaguers) who have an inordinately low Gap Power Potential relative to their Homerun Power Potential, typically something like Gap Power = 2 (on the 0/20 scale) and Homerun Power = 9. Those types of players end up posting extremely unlikely season double and HR totals, such as 1 2B and 15 HR, which we basically never see in real life. In the player scouting/skill algorithms, there should be a function that prohibits the player's gap power potential from being less than about 60% of their homerun power potential. So basically, a player with a HR power potential of 10 should have a gap power potential of at least 6, a player with a HR power potential of 5 should have a gap power potential of at least 3, and so on.
