Put a prospect label on a minor league player.

I think that next years edition should have something that would allow you to label a certain prospect/s in your system as top prospects which would put them as first priority for lineup selections by minor league managers. I know you could force start them, but then they cant play multiple positions. Like maybe I have a OF prospect who has no real spot on major league roster yet, so Id want him to keep working on all the positions until a spot opened up, at which point he wouldnt have focused on just one position. If hed been force started at LF, but then an injury happens to my stud CF and the prospect hasnt spent any time at CF in a while, I dont want him learning it on the fly in the majors, Id rather him do that in the minors. Also just to get them more AB/IP. Let me hear your thoughts.

I like the concept...I have the desire to watch my prospects grow but I get busy focusing on the 25 man roster on a day to day basis. If I told my AA coach to get a guy more at bats between LF and RF and he only played LF I would be looking for a new AA coach.
