It's just how projections work. Rookies with excellent minor league stats at the right age have high projections. But once they start to accrue major league experience, for example 175 innings of below-replacement-level pitching, like Giolito put up last year, the projections change to reflect that experience. So the projections are still not 100% sold on this year's breakout quite yet. That doesn't mean the game devs are doing it on purpose. I'm sure if he keeps pitching well, his card will continue to improve, and next year's card will be better. What more do you want?
