A good rule of thumb is 5 rounds of drafting per minor league level.
Players progress slowly, on average. I have had a few guys ready for the show in 400 AB total, but they are few and far between. It takes my guys 3-4 years to get decently ready, and really, they don't fully develop into ML players instantly at the big league level. You can have a .300 25 HR 100 RBI guy you think is the next Edwin Encarnacion, and you promote him, and he plays like Onix Concepcion half the time, and the other half he's clobbering the ball.

Alright, as long as there is a minor league system, we'll survive. Is there a way to create, say 75% of the league and then have the computer auto fill the rest? Like, can we create just out top five prospects per club and then have the computer junk-fill the remaining players?
Also, in the MLB Draft, can we create the prospects that are to be drafted from? We already have our next two drafts figured out prospect wise and were wondering if that's going to be able to be used.
Thanks again for all the help. I'm on a college budget and wanted to make sure I wasn't buying something that wasn't going to be useful. Thanks a ton again; very helpful.
