I'm a bit concerned that it says "Adjusted development of draft eligible players". Was anything done to tweak the development of players after they've been drafted?

This is already controlled by adjustable settings in the game. You can freely adjust those to whatever you want to get the development to be quicker or slower or whatever you think is best/more realistic for your game.
Just go to 'game settings' > 'players and facegen' and adjust the Batter Dev. Speed, Pitcher Dev. Speed and/or the Talent Change Randomness settings.
As far as the changes in the patch, the underlying source of the players getting to the majors too quickly was that some players were developing too quickly while still in the draft pool, and thus coming out of the draft too far up on the development curve, with too high current ratings. Then with even normal amounts of development once in the minors, they were hitting the majors too soon.
The adjustments we made should significantly improve that now. Obviously it still might not be perfect, and if there are still issues, we can look at tweaking things more.
