Umm how can I say this... Yes.

I believe they can lose/gain the ones related to attributes, but not the situational ones.

So what is the general rule of thumb for the different minor league levels? I'm running a sim-only franchise and I'm struggling to get over the playoff hump. Even with talented players and A-potential players, nothing is working.

Pray! I have tried rebuilds and unfortunately some of your A rated guys aren't going to hit enough to make a difference. Production based progression does not seem to be adjusted for the lower level s of the minors. The game should really adjust the progression expectations. Example:

AA home runs: 10 or more above average
Triple A home rinds: 15 or more above average
MLB: 20 or more obviously above average in today's day and age.

Noways if a prospect hits more Than 10 home runs in AA he is considered a pretty high level power prospect. Unfortunately the game doesn't recognize this and feels your prospects should be hitting 20+ home runs like your big leaguers.

It's mainly my pitching prospects that aren't performing like I need them to, my hitters progress decently!

There might be more randomness franchise to franchise than we realize or give the mode credit for. I'm running a sim/test franchise with Arizona and I have 4-5 pitchers who are in their early 20's, A potentials, rated high-80's to mid-90's. Also have a closer who is 21 and rated a 91. These are without morale adjustments. This is 4-5 years in.

I sim the first game each year with rosters/lineups/rotations all on auto to let the cpu arrange things, then simply make sure that none of my stud prospects are riding the pines in AAA and AA and none are in A. It seems to me that the cpu does better at placing prospects than I would, and it's worked out well.

I'll give that a shot, thanks
