The challenge would be to get the AI to still put some of these players through the low minors, though nowadays teams are getting more and more aggressive with early promotions.

Yes. This is exactly how those players should be modeled. Some players blaze through the minors because someone made a "mistake" and put them into an environment where their current skills were considerably greater than the guys around them. They only stabilize once they are put into an environment where they are at the right level--which could even be the majors.
The idea of using potential ratings to influence current results is a bad model.
