They are being compared against players at their own position. I don't THINK moving them from level to level should affect their potential, since the overall/potential is rated in comparison to an arbitrary major league. (In this universe there are very few players with green or blue numbers, which is correct, since this universe tops out at the International level.) I can't swear to it, but I don't think those players changed levels during my recent review.

I don't have as much hard evidence of it, but some other players who have NOT changed levels have also been affected. I evaluated my players in three groups. Monday was for infielders, Tuesday for outfielders and Wednesday for the minor league review. In between each the game was shut off and restarted.

Tuesday was a short day, so I also looked over what deficiencies I'll need to draft (draft in ten days) or trade to compensate for. While doing that I noticed that I had five starting pitchers with yellow numbers in their potential — two with yellow overalls and three with red overalls. Yesterday I only had two starting pitchers with yellow potentials — both with yellow overalls.

Unfortunately, I did a major review of my pitchers only a month ago, so I didn't feel the need to write down the names and exact numbers this time through, but three of my minor league starters have been majorly downgraded overnight, and I haven't moved any of them around since that review last month.
