Let me start by saying that I am in no way defending the game or saying that there isn't something wrong BUT maybe it's time people stopped paying so much attention to stars (or the numeric equivalent).

In hefalumps example the only thing not the same is the number of stars. The actual ratings are the same 15-9-10. So do the stars matter? Based on how good you interpret those numbers to be, you pitch him and see what happens. What are his stats etc.

I just don't get the fascination with stars. I do agree that if you have a system in place to compare players to players or positions to positions it should be uniform, but the level of angst when it doesn't appear to alter the game amazes me.
