One thing I noticed is Randor Bierd on the Red Sox is listed as "Very Popular" when in real life he's a little known AAA reliever. Also, Ramon Ramirez is listed as in AAA when he's been a top set-up man for them all season. Also, I don't understand how Saito is rated so much higher than Ramirez considering they were very similar last season.

Red Sox MILB:
Ryan Kalish is only 21 and in AA. He is rated 8th in a very deep system and has drawn future MLB comparisons to Nick Markakis. A 1 1/2 potential is a bit low.
Casey Kelly is ranked 4th in the system now and will likely be a top 50 prospect in the next BA Top 100. I don't understand how Derrik Gibson can be a 3-4 star potential and Kelly is a 2.

Other notes: Indians and Yankees with the #2 and 3 bullpens respectively is a bit of a joke. Even before the season, both teams were believed to have weak bullpens going in.
