Haha of course -- I always was under the assumption that it was largely based off potential, and that current talent didn't have much to do with it. While this IS true, where the player currently is also largely effects the ranking.

This occurs even if you have someone who should be in rookie league and you manually put him in AAA, he will be overvalued on the prospect rankings. Probably something that needs to be checked out by Markus in that respect, but I do like the respect that a guy who's in AAA vs a guy in Single-A at the same age, the AAA guy is ranked higher.

That was screwing me up for a while, because if you change current ratings and the computer automanages the player to a higher or lower level, he'll shift on the rankings.
