The other thing is, stats just don't tell you much, especially for HS guys. A guy who hits .600 in Minnesota HS ball is not demonstrably better, and is likely worse than one who hits .275 in Orange County or Miami-Dade HS ball.
The database prospects are not the issue here, at least for me. I completely understand why they wouldn't have histories. Game generated amateurs are what needs to be improved. I think most people would rather have the generated amateurs to have a more fleshed out history rather than to deal with feeders.

2) Just a repeat from the suggestions forum: it would add a lot of have a "projected round" for each potential draftee, reflecting the scouting/media consensus.
I like both of these!
