I'm not even close to the point of giving up on Vitters. If one year from now, he's still putting up similar numbers, then I will start to worry. Also, look a little closer at his production splits year-to-year, and the trend has been that Vitters shits himself after being promoted, but then adjusts nicely the next year and puts up excellent numbers. That is at least encouraging, to me anyway.
Very few prospects dominate in the minors from day 1 on right through a promotion to the bigs, so it isn't panic time just yet. Plus, predicting how a prospect's minor league or college stats project out to a major league career is like trying to time the stock market. Even the so-called geniuses end up being wrong most of the time.
