On the prospects, there are still a few guys we haven't adjusted, Abreu for sure among them. However Florial, Clarkin, Wade, Fowler, Kaprielian and Montgomery have all been looked at already and should be correctly rated. If you want to argue for ratings changes there, you'll have to make a convincing case!
Tate has been looked at already, but he's difficult because there are real questions as to whether he's the guy from last year with the poor stuff and fb in the high 80's or the guy from when he was drafted. We tried to get him somewhere in the middle. We might want to look at him again if he starts showing more again this year.

The Yankee scout has Kaprielian as 1.5 stars, and when I looked at the ratings that didn't seem far off. He's a consensus top 100 guy and that's even witht he fact he has barely thrown any MILB innings. That's how highly regarded he is. As for Tate, his stuff has rebounded and hes back in the 92-95 range with a sharp slider. Definitely would not say he has rebounded to top4 overall pick status, but he is definitely more than an organizational minor leaguer, which is what he is in the game. Also, when you go to the home screen the list of top Yankee prospects is all out of whack. Juan De Leon isn't even considered top 30 to my knowledge, yet I believe he is listed 3rd. Just some things I noticed. The reason I'm caught up on this is that I was so excited to do the Yankee rebuild and felt that many of the assets were undervalued (and for the record, some are overvalued, such as Jonathan Holder.)
