I can draft with too much confidence, knowing that ultra raw kid WILL become at least an average major leaguer because his potential is 55, instead of worrying if the game is going to be too much for him (will batting .140 in A-ball discourage him - making the game be too big a mountain to climb and causing him to fall into bad habits or just never adjust for years..or at all?)

I agree with you here that there's no fun if the fixed potential is always known. However, the scouting system is supposed to provide that bit of unknown into the game. In Football Manager, users weren't allowed to see the "real" potential unless they download a third party tool. Instead, you had to rely on the recommendation of your imperfect scouts who could be recommending the Brien Taylor of the world while overlooking the Albert Pujols.
