Out of all the major sports, baseball is the most difficult to predict who is actually going to be a dynamic game-changing franchise player. Its a constant race for prospects becuase so many of them don't pan out.
Also in baseball theres a wider ranger of skills that are needed. For example, in football, you need running backs. WR, linemen and a QB on offense. The skillset is rare but its narrow. On defense the skillrange is a bit wider bit its just one side of the ball
in the MLB the skill demand is wider... you need middle infielders... corner infielders.... a catcher. Corner outfielders. A true Centerfielder. Do your middle infielders have good range? Is your Centerfielder a good route taker? Does your right fielder have an arm? Do you have an everyday catcher or does he need days off? Can your 3rd baseman make that throw to first every time?
Then you have offense. Okay your CF is a great fielder but can he hit against left handed pitchers? Who has power potential? Do you have hitters who can hit for average? Do you have talented baserunners in your lineup, and do they have the plate discipline to get on base? Utility players? Pinch hitters/runners?
AND THEN you have pitchers. Do you have an innings eater in your starting rotation? If not many, then whats the bullpen like? Do you have enough lefties in your bullpen? Do you have a longman for emergency middle relief situations? You have a closer? A Setup man?
And Its so often that a lot of these guys you seek out to fill these specific roles don't amount to shyt. Naturally a lot more needs to go into finding people when it comes to filling out a baseball roster.

Never
good reasoning
now he is a starting pitcher for the indians but it took him until 2013 to finally be called up to the majors.
