Disclaimer: I don't own 12 yet, so this is based on my experience/understanding of 11, which is relatively limited compared to some others on the boards.

There are several factors which can impact overall and potential ratings, one of which is that the game engine will randomly (I think) give players potential increases and decreases, which is how late-round draft picks can make it into the majors. Also your scouting budget and skills impact it, if enabled.

IMO, if you have scouts on, you have to also account for player stats, because your scout might be wrong. I've never played scouts off so I'm not sure what other factors might be affecting the changes for you, OaklandMatt.
