Position Players
Prospect Rating FV
70 $125
65 $85
60 $70
55 $50
50 $40
45 $20
40 $5

Pitchers
Prospect Rating FV
70 $100
65 $85
60 $70
55 $50
50 $40
45 $20
40 $4

I also figured that since the show will now include real contracts it would be easier. I also added a couple of "rules to follow"

Side note:
-If Player has under 2 years of service and a WAR under 2
and wasn't a top 10 prospect their team the value will be inflated so cut the years before FA in half
-If the Player is a reliever value the years left despite prospect status
-Quality over quantity in trades to make value even out.
-If an aging player has an enormous value use the last 5-6 years (ex. Longoria, Kinsler)
-If trading to team with a bad record their prospects will be more valuable. Must top 2 prospects and 4 of top 10
-To make it fair pay attention to the teams needs and their records
-If they are Star pitchers add $15-20 to their listed value.
-I will make a roster edit to FM rosters. 55-70FV "A" potential. 50FV "B" Potential 45FV "C" Potential. It will be under gamertag Sportfan22


another side note: the guys in yellow are pirates cause they're my team. so ignore that.
Why does a "70" position prospect have more value than a "70" pitching prospect?
