Do they mean anything? I know there not very important but could it give me a little bit of insight?

I think they are more useful than most give credit for.

The ratings love high WAR players. Guys who can contribute on O, D, and the basepaths.

Guys with low ratings are either:
- defensively limited
- old for their placement
- low SI for their age/placement

So in my view the ratings do a pretty good job of identifying low risk (high rating) and high risk players.

They shouldn't be used as a primary evaluation tool, but if a guy has a lower rating than you expect, there is likely a red flag of some sort on the player.
