For instance, my top prospect list includes:

http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_21018.html <--- He's not good enough to be a backup OF in this league.
http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_24011.html <--- 26, and he's not good enough to be a platoon bat in the majors.

Somehow, http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_26247.html isn't a top prospect. Not only is he a much better bat than the 1B, but he can play the OF. And it can't be an issue of him being recently drafted, because my #18 prospect is someone from the same draft.

http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_27029.html is obviously a RP, but he'd be a legit SU man and possible closer. That has to have more upside than the first 2 guys I listed, who don't even have the upside be major league fringe players. We can agree that while RP probably shouldn't be the best prospects in a system, he should be one of my top 20, and certainly higher than the 2 fringe players I listed earlier who are ranked 14/17 in my system (above http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_26862.html, who would be a #3/4 SP on a contender...).

I traded http://mlbdreamsootpsim.com/game/lgr...yer_27254.html, but he didn't make my top prospect list when I had him. He's a #4 potential SP on a contender.

There's a fairly significant issue with the top prospect list, in that it isn't remotely accurate. Been that way since OOTP 6.5 when I started playing. Before they fix dynamic/annual, they have to make it so the top prospect reflects...the top prospects.
