Scouting Discrepancy on different screens

First, I know that the number of "stars" is not really important, but...

I'm looking at a draft pool and noticing a discrepancy in the "star rating" of some of the players in the draft when I go between different tabs on their profile. I'm wondering if this is purely a cosmetic glitch and irrelevant if the ratings are the same, or if it is some indicator of future volatility of the player, and he might regress or something.

Scouting is set to 100% accurate.

Here's an example in this current draft class:

SP is 17 years old with 4 undeveloped pitches. He is STU 65 MOV 80 CON 55

When I sort on the draft pool page, it shows him as a 4 star player. When I go to Profile, then summary tab it also says he's a 4 star pitcher.

BUT, when I go to the Scouting tab, the STU MOV CON ratings stay the same, but the stars go to 2 stars and the report says "likely bound for journeyman status."

I am seeing differences quite often for SP. For older 22 yr old college prospects, it usually isn't more than .5 or 1.0 star difference. But there's a big difference for the 17-18 year old HS prospects.

One 4.5 star lights out SP on the summary tab drops to a 1.5 star on the scouting tab.


Is this a bug? Is it some indicator that the player won't develop? Should I consider this at all. (If it matters, I'm picking as an expansion team so I really want to minimize risk.)
