In that case, increase the numbers for "weaken" (aka, "make bad"). But I'm guessing if you're seeing too many minor leaguers that are too good, it'd be more important to increase the "adjust" numbers (or both).

A lot is going to depend upon the Talent Change Randomness setting you use. You'll probably want a pretty high number if you want to see a lot of minor leaguers make the majors (and a lot of major leaguers flame out)... And you likely won't want to use Recalc. Otherwise, players will revert to ratings based upon their stats for the upcoming year, with any development that occurred the previous year having no effect on upcoming seasons.

My understanding is the Potential setting is merely how the game views the player's future at any given moment. But it doesn't have any effect on how players actually develop. For example, if the game is looking at Babe Ruth in 1918 and you've selected "Remaining Years of Career," it's going to look at his actual stats for the next 15 years and indicate that he has
tremendous potential. However, given settings of a high TCR and no Recalc, Ruth could turn out to be a nobody, a beast, or literally anything in-between.
Finally, best piece of advice would be to test this out using settings that you think will work, let the game sim ahead for several years (without immersing yourself in the game), and see if you're getting the results you want... (i.e., the right balance of minor & major leaguers, etc.). Then, once you land on the right settings, dig in
Good luck!
