It's going to be basically opinion.
For Historic Rosters, HoF'ers would be A potential. You could look at WAR for guidance. If I were to do Steve Garvey for example, if I was making a 1975 roster, I would give him a low A. At age 26 he was at his peak. But if I was making a 1986 roster, when Garvey was age 37, I'd give him a low B potential,
or maybe even a high C potential.

For present day rosters, I look to Baseball America's Prospect Handbook.

This is my post from this http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ratings-2.html thread.

Using Baseball America Prospect Handbook (BA Grades)
80 safe/low- 95 potential
80 medium/high/extreme- 94 pot.
75 safe/low- 93 pot.
75 medium/high/extreme- 92 pot.
70 safe/low- 91 pot.
70 medium/high/extreme- 90 pot.
65 safe/low- 89 pot.
65 medium/high/extreme- 88 pot.
60 safe/low- 86 pot.
60 medium- 85 pot.
60 high/extreme- 84 pot.
55 safe/low- 82 pot.
55 medium- 81 pot.
55 high/extreme- 80 pot.
50 safe/low- 79 pot.
50 medium- 78 pot.
50 high/extreme- 77 pot.
45 safe/low- 74 pot.
45 medium- 73 pot.
45 high/extreme- 72 pot.
40 safe/low- 69 pot.
40 medium- 68 pot.
40 high/extreme- 67 pot.
Any player with no MLB experience & isn't in the Baseball America Prospect Handbook Top 900 players won't have a potential over 66, but I haven't finalised just how that will work.
