I think it's only natural for 2 reasons.
1. When a prospect is new, the sky is still the limit. When a prospect has been around longer, you can get a better idea of their ceiling.
2. A prospect is only a prospect until they either graduate or they bust. There are a finite number of chances to make it, and prospects that have been around longer already burned a few chances. I am not suggesting that Baertschi is a bust by any means, but by shear numbers, he has less time to work things out than say Bennett or Poirier.
One way I try to look at it is if you put all of our prospects up for trade, which ones would have the highest trade value?
