"My suspicion is that the 1.38 in-season aging model has the potential for a pitcher's ability to strike players out to climb unbounded, where the old off-season aging model had some form of hard cap on ability. In my imagination, there's no way we-the-users can tell this, because we see the 'scaled' rating - 100 Velocity! - and not the raw number which is generating incredible strikeout totals."
I think you got it right there. This is something that Shaun will have to work on for PS 2008, or just shelve entirely. Personally, I'm happy with between-season improvements.
