Completely agreed, but there's a big difference between "always be potential stars" and "always so far under their peak potential despite being at or near their peak age as to be worthless."
I signed a couple of them to minor league deals to see if they improve at all in AAA, but from the sounds of it, they are what they are. My sample size is all of one offseason, but the gulf between current and potential ratings being so huge at such an advanced age just throws me for a bit of a loop.
