Always good to get caught up on Big Z's story.

Did Z's ratings actually drop, or are his stars the only things that changed? If I recall, the stars are measures of how a player compares with others at his position. I watched Pat O'Farrell's stars drop from 4 to 2.5 once when he was young, as a couple of good second basemen moved from the NL to the AL. Pat then went on a tear, gained his stars back, and went on to a .368/.477/.533 season.

Hopefully you won't have to explain the sudden demise of a young star, although I'm sure you'd make the story a great read.
