Time. You had a dude back in whatever year he was picked and he was supposed to start becoming valuable after a period of ripening.
If you have to restart that period of ripening that hurts your organization because you miss out (for at least another while) on the sweet period where the player is supposed to somehow pay off for the time it took to get ready.
