Talent Changes

This is something that has frustrated me from 2006 becuase I was always getting hit with drops and few ups.

In my fictional league, I have played 3 seasons. 2007, 2008 and 2009. Here is what has happened.

In 2007, 44 total talent changes. 29 have gone down including my 1st, 2nd and 3rd round selections. Overall, all of the 'good' talent changes have been on crappy players that will never see any time in the majors even after they got a little better. However, I had 1 5 star prospect become a 1 star, 2 4 star prospects become 1's and numerous 3 star guys become 1's. This wiped out all of my talent in the minors completely.

In 2008, 36 total talent changes. 27 were bad talent changes including my 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, 4th rounder and 6th rounder. All solid prospects that are now trash. I did have one guy that went from being a 1 star to a 2 star and that was the only good change that I had. Everyone else, again was crap before and after.

In 2009, 21 total talent changes. (not finished the year yet) 18 were bad. Very bad. Once again, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th drafted all became crap. None of the guys that got ups are any good after the change and I lost EVERY decent prospect. I have 2 2 star guys left in the minors.

Now I ask, what the heck is going on? Am I the only one that is having this problem? I am going to have to turn this off if I can never get anyone that can be any good. I am tired of losing all of my players to talent drops.

If these player that got talent drops were players that were playing over their heads and getting killed daily in their respective levels, I could see some of this. However, most of the guys are where they should be. Very few are having bad years and I even had a guy hit .322 with 48 homers in the majors and the damn game said he was struggling at the plate.

Could someone PLEASE help me.
