I think many parents, through transfers, re-classing or playing in some alternative league, believe this is true. I believe it's quite the opposite. Out of site, out of mind...no meaningful message will be sent. Next man up!
I know many who went this route and it didn't turn out how they hoped...
Any team that has a Freshman playing Varsity has to be desperate for talent, tiny, or immensely screwed up. A talented player leaving will leave a hole. Hell, it would leave a hole at our HS(we've had numerous kids quit for other reasons), and we have 5 teams!

I'd beg to differ.

Freshman on the #2 5A team in Texas.

#2 pitcher w/ record of 5-0-1, ERA under 2.00 with WHIP of less than 0.90.

Hitting .350, second on the team in RBI, Runs, and SB and playing CF.
