it's still worth it... if you see a dip in ratings, you start lookign for a trade.

i like prospects, but it could be mlb'ers too -- i always have a running list of replacement candidates for various positions. an unexpected dip in ratings is definitely a time i review and expand that position's replacement list.

a major dip and i am immediately trying to trade him before the stats portion of AI evaluation catches up with reality of the new ratings.
