But the game doesn't model simply the major-league career of the players. It models everything. So we need to have the possibility for a "Tony Gwynn" - a player who is regarded during the amateur draft as a hitting prospect but a defensive liability, and who trained himself into a five-time Gold-Glove winner. Yes, he did it mostly over his minor-league career, its hard to see much improvement beyond his big-league debut. I'd interpret that as a 'kid' with, say, hands 40, range 50, arm 60, or possibly worse, training his way into a hands 70, range 70, arm 70 player by the time he's big-league ready, or shortly thereafter.
