I think people need to temper their expectations even more than you are suggesting. Young, small players may require some time to adjust to the pro ranks.
I've tempered my tempered expectations. And every single time, Johnny proves me wrong and does 100x better than what I'd thought he'd do.

I'm still tempering, but now it's safe for me to expect a little more than what I originally thought. It's a good thing, he's going to make management bite their nails in where to slot him next year.
