the best way i could think of is to check the teams triple A squads. compare the productivity of a player vs. the likely hood he may be called up.
i could use some advice too:
head to head league, ex: team x's hr= 6 team y's hr= 5... team x gets 1 win for that catogorie.
scoring system: 9 categories for each so its equal in terms of categories...
any glaring advantages.
hitting:
R,H,HR,RBI,SB,K,FPCT,AVG,OPS
pitching:
W,L,CG,SV,K,HLD,ERA,WHIP,K/BB

The best future talent and big time impact will come from AA call ups. Examples: Albert Pujols and Miuel Cabrera. AAA players usually have been around longer, thus have weaknesses. Big time talent jump past AAA into the bigs and stick. Not saying that all AAA players are of lesser talent than AA, but the huge major players don't linger in minors long. They are also scarce. Look for players who advance quickly in the minors.
