Just as ratings can drop like a rock they can also rebound. Understand that those ratings are your scout's or the OSA's subjective opinion, not an absolute. If you accept that a prospect may be 5-6 years away from the Majors (depending on how old they were when drafted) you'll accept that sometimes you have to stick with a kid and give him a chance to develop. If he's putting up good numbers in the minors, stick with him. I've had guys go from top prospect, to no prospect and back, and become contributing major leaguers.
