Minor league stats have a lot less correlation to major league success than talents and ratings. Also, it tends to overrate older prospects or prospects than have a 1 in a rating instead of a zero. I honestly dont care if player A has a 1 in homers when he's 19 and player B has a 2. I more interested in the fact that player A is brill talents in homers and play B has fair talent.
All this change does is make it harder for someone to get accurate information on who the prospects that are truly going to be good major leaguers are.
Generally, I like patches to fix things, not break things. Now I have a top prospect list that is essentially broken, as it gives me less accurate information than it did before.
I hope you change that back, or at least give players the option to choose which way they would prefer it. More options is almost always better.

Thanks for that update on how to scout minor league players. You back my thoughts up exactly. Acquire lots of players with "5 tools" and then hope they succeed in the majors.
