Much more rare I would think would be the player that experiences a correction taking a stat down, followed later by another correction taking it back up.

BC is an alarming skill to see it in, because it means the scouting correction brought the skill down more than it improved through training, which is not something you want to see in young players. He likely will get that point back through training, but it means that player is training BC VERY slowly if at all.

Unfortunate to see the Range dip for a guy who is projected at SS. If I were you, I would be counting my blessings that I found out this guy's limitations so early before investing a lot of time in him. Looks like a career minor leaguer to me... EDIT: Just noticed that he is a "Lemon" Updated Friday, December 15 2017 @ 3:47:40 pm PST

But you really need to train both at 2B, as they can both already play SS and dual eligibility is very useful.

It isn't clear to me exactly how these relate to the individual skills. But the down arrow does give you some pretty good data about the guy.

Is there any way he could be matured enough to make the majors when he is like 25-26 years old? And be useful? I had a rule of thumb that skill index might go up around 10 / season. Roughly.
