Players have normal years, bust years, and sometimes they have career years. How do you know "exactly" what you're getting?

See, I've just never seen that. Guys have bad years and good years, of course, but at the end of the line, you can always look back on their careers and see consistency throughout. Bench players put up bench numbers, stars put up star numbers. I've never once seen a dominant pitcher fall off the map during his prime, nor would I want to see that. Yes, the development engine is always working, but it has always had more of an effect on prospects, or else your league would fluctuate wildly year to year.

Again, I don't really agree, but:
