The game is littered with players that showed immense talent in the first few years of their career then drop to a mediocre player with injury trouble. I'm not saying it's going to happen to him, but I do think its a little early in his career to assume the original projections are wrong.
You are right, but no one's saying that. I haven't seen one person (aside from lukasberger, whose job it is to tweak the ratings) claim that they're amazed that Trout didn't become a star in their league. All we've done is what The Game asked, and report on what Trout has done in our leagues.
