I think the problem is that too many people assume a 1 star potential player will never be a usable player in the majors.
I actually don't feel it's more realistic now because no real life GM thinks he's drafting 5 star players in the 3rd round. Hell, outside of the top 10 they are just trying to find players that will make it.
Take a look at the MLB top prospects. Lets highlight the top pick last draft and 8th overall. He's not even projected to be a 5 star guy. He's got a 60 overall which should be in the 4 star range. His individual ratings are far from how most of the 1st round players in ootp are represented.
I understand you are appealing to the masses because most people simply don't like looking at a realistic draft pool which is actually very bland.
