Creating this from the ground up had to be a beast for Erich and crew. If I could give any advice I would say that be VERY happy we have a functional MLB set to play with on release, and I have a lot of faith that these guys will keep getting updates out there.
That's all I can really say though, I don't want to speak for them.

I don't know much about the ratings and haven't delved too deep into it. But I did sim two seasons.
Jay Bruce (5 stars)
2008 132 games .307 avg, 15 HR, 71 RBI
2009 146 games .362 avg, 32 HR, 112 RBI
Max Scherzer (1/2 star)
Still hanging out in AA (where he is good). He did make the AA all-star team and is the 79th rated ML prospect as of the start of the 2009 season.
Craig Hansen (don't know him)
Turns out to be a decent middle reliever for the Astros with average to above average ratings.
I'm not a big prospect buff, but most of the top ones I know about are doing good. Longoria, Maybin, Chamberlein. When I look at the Cubs who I'm more familiar with, their top prospects are rated fairly well and contribute by 2009 (even 2008).
