Every time they dropped to like 3 star potential. This happens to me with all kinds of players and very rarely do my players pan out, especially my 5 star players.
Also, I will trade for players who are playing very well and when I get them they play poorly.
Also, does the development budget have a big impact or no?
Any advice?

It happens. Corey Seager, for example, never really dropped in my league and ended up with over 3000 hits.
I had a guy who tore it up for the first 12 years of he career, 2300 hits, 1100 stolen bases on his way to breaking Henderson's stolen base record and many other records. I end up singing him to a big contract and the very first year of his contract his stats drop off the face of the earth. A few years later I have to bench him he's so bad. He can still run like a young Henderson but he can't get on base. So Henderson's stolen base record and many other records he was supposed to top are safe as can be. It happens.
Look at Matt Kemp in real life. The year he should have won the MVP over juice Braun he was entering the prime of his career but he never lived up to that and still isn't. He doesn't suck but he's not the superstar he was supposed to be.
