40 is generally the point where a player 'should' be able to handle playing in MLB. Now, as referenced in the post above, a 40 player you would not expect to be a star, or even a strong regular, but they can definitely be a bench player or a weak starter on some teams. EDIT: Though, just as in real life, it's not a guarantee a 40 level player will be able to handle MLB, some will, but maybe even more won't and might either need to be sent back down for more seasoning or will cap out at being 'AAAA' players.
Some will continue to improve in the majors, some will not. Just like in reality. But in and of itself, promoting a player to the majors will not stop them from developing further. Players can definitely develop while in the majors.
