Well, Baseball America updated...

I loved Vern Branch during the draft and didn't end up taking him later in the draft due to already having a backlog of 3B from earlier this year and the draft last year.

[Ryan]

Hmm...#9. My newly drafted SP's have helped my standing, but lets see if they develope.

Somehow Victor Melendez went from 26th last sim to completely out of the top 100 this week, despite hitting .304 with 4 RBI his first pro week. I guess that makes sense.

so interesting update... Jud Graham my third pick this year went from out of the top 100 prospects up to #2 in the entire game... Very odd.

[liquidcrash]

Fell to last place as Saul Soriano tumbles out of the top 100. He was in the 70s last week I think, and has been pitching great at AAA. Not really sure what to think about that.

Wow. That along with the fact that he threw 100 pitches in his last start tells me that he got an endurance bump. Congrats, it looks like the gamble taking him so high might actually pay off.

[Lintyfresh85]

Weird. None of my scouts noticed a upgrade in his endurance... but then again they all had him at a 5 anyways. So I guess now it's the truth.

one of my guys who was top 20 dropped out after he got injured for 8 months :( he was gonna be starting for me next year too.... dangit

In his first 3 starts he threw 53 pitches (shutout), 56 pitches (1 hit shutout) and 62 pitches. In his last start he threw 100 which coincided with his jump in the BA rankings.

This is my opinion on what happened. He was created with a high 4 as endurance which is why some scouts saw him as a 4 and others as a 5. Endurance seems to be all or nothing in terms of who can be a starter. A guy that's rated a high 4 is never going to be a starter if his endurance remains the same. It seems in your case his endurance went up enough to make him click over to a 5 in the AI's mind, which makes him a viable starter now.

Jose Guzman had been my top prospect for a while but he must've played enough games for him to drop from the top prospects list, which made me drop down to 4th overall. It was nice being either 1st or 2nd but I'll take top 5.

[Sully]

John Gorrie must be creeping up on that mark as well.

[Pat]

Up to #2.

I have four of the top 19 hitting prospects in the game. Future looks bright.

[Pat]

Bump.

Washington Bats are #1!

#7, #15, #24, #27, #67, #83, and #100

[Clay]

I give you major props for having a great BLB team and a great farm system....

Ick... that hurt to say....

Anyway... enjoy the top spot because once the rookies go in, the Colonials fully expect to jump to #1.
