Not only that (a huge part, though) but it's usually at least 3-4 years even before an 18-20 year old potential great shortstop or other great player even at what seems to be an already stacked position makes it to the majors, whether for just a cup of coffee or long term, and there's no guarantee at all, and usually the chances are quite slim, that even THAT heir apparent at that stacked position will succeed.

Be it injuries, trades, guys that can't hit the curve ball, etc. You can be a "do-it-all' stud in AA/AAA but far different in the BIGS..You simply cannot have enough great athletes that can run, catch, field, and play multiple positions. If you can HIT it's icing on the cake..
