As far as the purpose of minor league stats though, I think you're trying to use these for something that even real life minor league stats cannot be solely used for, to gauge MLB readiness.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of players, including many top prospects who put up awesome MiLB stats, but then never turned out to be ready for MLB.
Their minor league stats really told you nothing about them, because they could never replicate them in MLB.
That's where the term 'AAAA player' comes from. Also the term 'scouting the stat line'. These sort of guys exist in large numbers in real life, and they generally tend to be top or at least well regarded prospects.
