Well, I can see the logic behind that, but I have simmed 3 seasons with various teams and when guys like...

Cole Hamels
David Wright
Zack Greinke

...and more are declining by 6-10 overall ratings points per year--obviously not supposed to happen.

You also have to look at potential rating a little differently than simply a player's ceiling. Giving Lincecum a "B" even though he may never improve would actually, within the game, cause him to regress to a "B" player.

At least I think that's how it works.
