IRL, take a rookie ball player and put him in AAA and he will not hit for a 102 OPS+

What's going on here is that Clay Davenport's projection system projects that average A+ line to be roughly the equivalent of a (EDIT, accidently put .601) .701 OPS in MLB, which if you then translate down to AAA, probably then comes out somewhere around a league average OPS+, like you posted. At least, not super far from it either way.,
Now, I'm not sure that 'proves' anything in and of itself, except that one pretty highly regarded projection system sees a top IAFA guy in his age 17 year as likely able to be somewhere around an average AAA hitter, which is what you were finding so implausible.
