I also have Fair or Good managers and pitching coaches, and I tried swapping out various pitching coaches, with no luck.

Also a Tigers GM here, and I have to say the ratings for all these players feel a little unkind. Faedo, in my game, was unreasonably hot trash for a first-round 2017 draft pick, and I ended up throwing him into a deal for a CF prospect.
The others are sticking with it but don't appear to be the prospects they are in reality. Burrows hung around in AAA. Perez was doing okay in AA at the end of 2018. Manning was fine at A-ball. None of them were excelling.
That said, the AI GMs still rate these guys in potential trades, so I'm ignoring ratings and just focusing on moving them through the ranks at an appropriate age: Burrows and Perez are both ahead of schedule already.
If I've learned anything from OOTP, it's that scouting and talent eval can fluctuate widely from year to year, and you have to focus more on the process and results than the ratings.
(With regard to position players: in my game, Candelario has turned out great, Paredes is way ahead of schedule, and Dawel Lugo and Daz Cameron still look like useful pieces.)
