At the end of the 31 year sim in OOTP I have gone through the '100 Top Prospects', 'Top 20 Hitters', 'Top 20 Pitchers', and I checked the top 38 major leaguers (200 pa ranked by OPS+ for hitters and 80ip ranked by ERA+). This has show me something disturbing for my setup.

This is OOTP14

33 of Top 100 Prospects are from the Feeder Leagues, 77 from International.
6 of the 40 ML Players from the Top 20 Hit and Pit are from Feeder Leagues
6 of the 38 Top ML hitters (by OPS+) are from Feeders
5 of the 38 Top ML Pitchers (by ERA+) are from Feeders

So the majority of the talent coming into the league is from International Sources, the Ammy draft is almost inconsequential.

Next I have to check the OOTP13 league for these same things and try to determine if it is my setup or something to do with OOTP14.
Here are the same numbers as above from the OOTP13 version of the league

74 of Top 100 Prospects are from the Feeder Leagues
24 of the 40 ML Players from the Top 20 Hit and Pit are from Feeder Leagues
23 of the 38 Top ML hitters (by OPS+) are from Feeders
26 of the 38 Top ML Pitchers (by ERA+) are from Feeders

These numbers are much more like what I am looking for. From this data it looks like OOTP14 produces much better talent from International sources as compared to Feeder Leagues.
