Well, Baseball America updated...

Oh not worried about the rankings. I know it's going to change a lot this time of year.

Just think it's odd that OSA is saying one prospect is better than the other and then reversing that in another report. Don't think I've seen that before.

The ORG top 20 I believe is affected by your scout... I think.

Hmm, that wouldn't seem right according to my scout's ratings of some guys.

Maybe it's different in 17 (and im sure some scout ratings have changed) and I never noticed. I'll check it out some more.

Yeah, I've had 17 for about an hour now so I could be wrong. Would love input from those who have tinkered more.

Not exactly prospect related but holy smokes 17 likes my players a lot more than 16 did goddamn

Agreed.

Pawtucket still had a bare system, but now my guy thinks we at least have a few more journeyman. Guess thats good.

Oh and "5" seems different now compared to 16 especially contact. Seen a few guys rate a 5 but say "Should bat .220"

Well we can all see the other teams top 10. We can always shot out our orgs top 10 per our scout then compare it to other teams since its visible?

We can all see the top 20 in the html.

Maybe you guys thought I meant something else?

Where can see if our players are rated in Top #200 Prospects list. Is it in the player development? I can't see it.

It's in the Development tab of your team screen. I can't remember the name.

It lists your minor league affiliates and records. Plus has a depth chart on the right showing you your best current players or potential players at each position.

On the bottom left, it lists your prospects and also includes a rating next to their name.

Is it still there?

I looked last night and didn't see it.

I think it was replaced with position ranking or something like that. I meant to post about it last night but forgot.

It is rank now. But days 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th depending in which level of your system they are. I don't think the Top prospects are in that screen anymore... Anyone can post a picture if they have someone ranked?

Oh it moved in 17? Weird.

Goes to show you how much I pay attention to it in my other leagues.

Alistair "Colin" Whaley debuts as our best prospect and #7 on the Top Prospects list. I'm not sure when the last time was that we had a guy debut this high. Maybe Todd Taylor debuted this high, but I don't remember.

That sound you hear is Enrique Bernardi pushing Pat off the Space Needle.

I laughed.

I'm not surprised that Whaley debuted Top 10 at all. I actually thought he might debut higher. If you looked at the Top 100 at the BLB and the amateur level's it was clear the game has some new evaluation for CFs. Willie Londono, who I like but far from elite, is currently the #1 prospect in the BLB. In HS, NCAA and CCBL, there was a CF in the #1-#5 range of top prospects. Shit, even CF Jackson Simmons (PIT), a late 3rd rounder, debuted Top 100 and the guy hit .214 in college with a .647 OPS. Clearly, the new OOTP engine likes CFs.

As for Bernardi not debuting, I think he will emerge over time. According to the Org Player Development Org Depth Chart, he ranks below only Tom King (#3 Top 100) in potential at SP. That means he has higher potential, according to this, than McVicker (#15 Top 100) , Brooks (#19) and Lensini (#28).

However, the fact that he didn't even make my ORG Top 20, is a bit troubling.

SS Alex Velez who I think will end up a steal didn't crack our top 20 org either. Yet former 9th round phenom C Dave 'I suck' Finkelstein is?? Interesting.

I wouldn't worry at all. Still have to use your judgement in this game. Maybe even more now???
