from my experience its possible.
I brought up a 2B who had a 6 in hitting and was batting well over .300 in the minors. he was only 22 years old.
2 weeks later i sent him back down. he wasnt ready...he was hitting only .150 or so.
He struggled early on in AAA as his average dipped to the .250's but then pushed it up back over .300 and his hitting actually improved to an 8.
i think i got lucky...so what i'm sayin is that i dont think it will always happen, but it could.
