One of the things mentioned in the original post is that some evaluators will grade harsh to protect their standings. I am sure that may be the case with a select few but I doubt that is the norm. The one thing that seems to be a bit bothersome for me is the fact that few of the seasoned grizzlies get evaluated. In my JUCO and Fed association it is rare for a guy to fall down in his rating. I know the D1 guys get rated on every game but again I rarely see them dropped. I attended a D1 game last weekend and on every occasion with a R1 the U3 was in "B" with a left handed batter. This is in direct conflict with the CCA manual. I asked the PU a few days later why this mechanic was allowed on his crew. He merely replied "that's how he has always done it." It's hard to explain to an up and coming guy that it's an accepted mechanic for the tenured guys but not for anyone else.
