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.
Are you using dynamic or annual. It looks like the guys you are saying should be on your teams top prospect list were recently drafted and thus would not be on your teams ranking if the list is only annual.
