I think it's a problem when you play with scouts off, draft a pitcher who is 8/8/8, and then without injury and pitching well, downgrades to 5/4/5 in a month. Maybe it produces realistic results eventually, but let's face it, it's a fairly rare real life event for a prospect to go from lauded to to barely A-ball caliber in a month.

I believe if the presentation of it were changed, it may be better. Like instead of downgrades, guys just failed to live up to the ratings and never made it out. I'm sure that would be hard to implement, having 20 guys in the minors who were 5* caliber that only 3-4 will ever develop.
