Reply to "What separates players who are drafted?"

I read where the goal is to make the 40 man, then the 25 man roster. I believe that the goal should be, at least, to be an above average major league player. Of course, everything inside the minor leagues seems to point to simply "getting to the show." So what separates players who can be above average in the show? Talent, for sure, but talent in the mental game is as important as tools. Tools are easier to see, and therefore draft for. Physical mechanics are easier to teach, perhaps, but winning the mental game is what separates good from great.
