Well there's good news! This isn't taking as long as I originally feared to re-rate AA.

I only have 10 teams left to blow through for AA ratings, at which point every player in MLB/AAA/AA will have been re-rated for everything including proper positions (if they've played more than 10 games there in their recent career, or made a very recent position switch) as well as ratings based on stats for all of them. Literally every player at those levels was re-rated which is why it took quite a bit. I think the payoff is going to be more than worth it however.

After that, I need to go through and re-edit the Top 30 prospects which will not take much time at all, it mainly just consists of me checking to see who the prospects in the organization are in the game, editing any guys who are overrated, and then editing the top thirty.

From there we should be set for release for the next version! I'm hoping a week and a half at this point, but that timetable as always can go either way.

In retrospect, I'm glad I made the decision to go ahead and edit AA, there's quite a few guys down there that are going to make an impact in the majors this year or next (guys like Alcides Escobar, Samardzija, LaPorta, etc.) that were underrated to the point of not having a shot at playing until late 2009/2010. No one is overrated I don't think, but the collective talent has definately taken a big bump to the point that a lot of guys in AA COULD make the jump to the majors (although most pitchers are in the 5.50-6.50 ERA range, most hitters in the .580-.630 OPS range). It's pretty neat seeing a relatively obscure player play like he does in real life and offer some of the things that he does as well (especially great speed guys, high contact guys, strikeout pitchers, etc.)
