I can't honestly say I've ever seen any total one-star scrub turn into a "star" necessarily... But I did have a seemingly useless, late round, utility infielder type develop into a legit 3 star ML player who is in his 6th or 7th season. I had to trade him away eventually for budget reasons... but his initial scouting report had all of his batting potentials listed in the 4-6 range on a scale of 20... just ugly...
He spent three years in the minors and between the 2nd and 3rd season, his rating potentials just skyrocketed out of nowhere.... they all pretty much tripled from one season to the next... He went from a .200 batter in single A one season, to tearing up triple A by the end of the next season. Never saw anything like it. He ended up basically splitting the difference between his initial crap potential and his later astronomical potential... settling in nicely as a solid defender who can play any IF position well, hit .260ish with 15-20 HRs while drawing about as many walks as strikeouts. Decent player for a 13th rounder, but he had to go once the arbitrator gave him $4.5m raises for two straight seasons.
