Can we assume that Booser's age is working against him? Slaten too?
Also, can you confirm how the site is planning to treat Slaten? He was not removed from the list even though his eligibility is up (I think). Will an R5 pick be on the list all season, and then into next year? Or is it just that the other guys who graduated had prior MLB time? Not arguing, just curious.

His eligibility is not up, he has not yet been in the majors for 45 days. Barring some weirdness (a situation where he needs to be optioned but the team works out other compensation, I guess), he won't be ranked on 6/1. Why would Slaten's age be working against him? He's ranked 12th in a strong system, and his grade moved up to a 4.5. The group from 7-12 was very close.
Booser is 32, that's a different situation. Awesome story, but even like a 4.0 WAR career would be beating the odds. Unlike Slaten, there's no thought that maybe he starts down the road or is part of the long-term solution. Every pitcher ahead of him profiles either as a potential starter or a high-leverage reliever.

Perhaps the confusion about eligibility stems from the fact that the three guys who graduated all did have prior service time entering the year. Slaten did not.
Also, the value is simply capped on relievers. That's doing a lot of work here too.
