Current ratings of prospects way too high in historical drafts

I'd really love to start a late-2000's game with the Cubs, however, one annoying issue i've encountered is that the "prospects" in the first-year player draft have extremely high current ratings, which leads to lots of players debuting when they are 18 or 19 years old when they should be debuting not until a few years later.

is there any way to make it so that players in the amateur draft have lower ratings initially? More in line with how a draft prospect's ratings should be.

It seems that when generating player ratings based on real-life stats, the game doesn't take into account the different levels. So a player who tore it up in AA or AAA in real-life of the specific year, will have extremely inflated ratings.
