I am wondering if a hybrid would be beneficial:


AAA: Current
AA: Current
A+: Potential
A: Potential
A-: Potential
R: Potential


NOTE: In my league, (as in the actual MiLB) there are o service time limits in AAA or AA...there are in A+ and below. I wonder if this rile help keep out older more developed players with no hope of reaching the MLB??
I would use Potential all the way up to AA myself and probably include an age specifer of 26 years old. By this time if they ain't developed they probably won't. In AAA I play the highest rated because, I am looking for them to jump in at the ML to fill a void when called upon (injury etc.). This is usually my strategy as a contending team for a title every year.
