It happens and I find it one of the better things in the game. We all know players that are 3-4 year wonders and then drop off into obscurity. As evidence meet Julio Medina. His AAA numbers forced me to find a spot for him this season (2017). He was supposed to be a backup, but I never guessed that he would hit 36 HR and force two much better potential players to the bench. I don't expect him to continue for very long.

In my experience the actual moves to meet potential. Not the other way.
