I like talking about this sort of thing, feel free to keep the discussion going if you'd like.
I'm just not sure what you mean by "I wasn't really talking about the guys that do become stars, but more the guys that get drafted"?
Those projectable players you mention don't really project as future MLB players, except in rare cases. Maybe they would if they absolutely reached their peak potential, but there's generally little to no chance they reach that potential.
I think some of the problem here is that team prospect sites and prospect sites in general get way too carried away about guys, and project low round picks as having far, far higher ceilings than they actually have.
That leads to the unrealistic view that these guys are genuine potential decent future MLB players, when in fact, most of them don't have more than a prayer of ever getting to that point.
