The root problem in OOTP is that if you try to correlate a player's success in the majors with his minor league talent ratings or his minor league stats, it's not even close which works better. Talent ratings far and away do a better job.

That's why I started this thread wondering why you would change a measure of a prospect's predicted major league success so that it would include a variable that is significantly worse than the variables already used.

You add minor league stats to the equation, and you make the Top 100 prospects list worse at doing what it is supposed to do. It's that simple, and it doesn't make sense to me. You essentially break something that was already fixed.
