The reasoning is that 100% of the results within the game are driven by the ratings. So the "tools" are the only thing that matter when it comes to accurately evaluating players. If a guy with 20 grade Contact could get lucky enough to hit .300 over an MLB season in the game, he's still worthless as a hitter for projecting him onto your roster going forward.
