if the have high control ratings, you are just experiencing normal things. thay may average 2bb/9 in their prime, but results each year can swing quite a bit... less so for the highly rated players, but still does ebb and flow, nonetheless.

if it's occuring regularly enough, you should consider your scout an idiot when it come's to that player's control. sell high or maintain as the situation dictates.

a month, 2 months, even a year is a very bad thing to react to, if it is a well-rated pitcher with a good pitch selection and all the intangibles that go into a highly-successful starter.

i.e. it's common to read that you should have a 3-pitch pitcher or more to be a starter - an this is very true... however, it's incomplete. I'm failry certain 3 fastballs (fb/sink/cut) is not an effective 3-pitch combination for a starter and possibly even a crappy RP, too. pitch selection may even affect walk-rate a minor amount, not sure.
