Do the stats mean anything? If I have "Player A" who has stats of .700 VSL and .050 VSR, does that affect their attributes at all? I mean, sure its nice to know the stats, but does it affect the game in anyways?

nope.

now if player A had VD, then yes.
he'd most likely start the game on the DL.

Moving on to other areas of change, we’ve gone back through the player generation logic to bring you more realistic skill sets for the CPU generated players. You will now see more authentic pitch repertoires, with velocities to match, and less overall balanced players (more speedsters, good hitting/average, below average fielding, etc.).

Does that mean no more 100 mph fastballs and 60 mph knuckleballs on the same pitcher?

Also I actually enjoy the "newspaper" feature. It can certainly use some improvement but it is a concept I find interesting.

I did not see any drafted pitcher with a knuckle ball which I think is good...they are very rare.

You don't get enough stats on the statistics page? It takes about three days to scroll across the friggin' thing.

I would think the attributes affect the stats. If a player has 99 contact vs left I would expect his vsl avg to be high. Progression and regression would alter attributes and in turn..avg.

I'm a Mike.
But on all the paperwork that I get from anywhere....it's Michael.
My family calls me Michael. My friends and co-workers are lazy and call me Mike.
His name is Michael Stanton.

Play effects stats.....stats do not effect play.
IRL or in The Show.
