This topic comes a lot here.

Guys who start as five star prospects don't necessarily stay five star prospects. By the same token, guys who don't come out of the draft as five star guys can develop into one.

Ratings fluctuate. Development is not a smooth straight line, there are peaks and valleys along the way, and there is no instant gratification. If any draft pick develops into a productive every day big leaguer it's a success story.
