Yes in SimD there are less busts, but by using the answer admin has given multiple times to describe why there are not more minor league players and more draft slots. The 15 minor league guys represent your top talent.

But there are no Ryne Sandbergs picked in the 20th round, no Mike Piazza to be found in round 62 in SimD then either. I get it the career ending injuries don’t exist also. So the way I look at draft picks Round 1 in SimD is equal to real life picks in rounds 1-8. (The draft ends in round 40 now.). So when you get a star you want his development to be properly handled.

It is just a game which is predicated around a whole lot of luck so you just hope your statistical chance at luck is better than the next guys.

I get the frustration, believe me. I have been frustrated many, many times by this game. That being said, all you can do is set your minors, lineups, and pitching staffs to maximize the desired result and hope for the best. It is a simulation and isn't impacted by anything other than probabilities.

He's converted on 20% of IC's over the course of his career which isn't bad. 0/40 is god awful but at age 23 he should be pitching at the major league level. That should offer better results at seasons end. I wouldn't be concerned at all.

+1

And to get upset and leave the game over this issue means one never understood probability and chance in the first place.

This is actually not that uncommon. High B+ and red letter pitchers will sometimes go "O-fer" in a season during prime development years.
