There have been a number of studies done which prove that minor league performance not only is an indicator of future major league performance, but the best indicator as well.
But you don't need to look at studies to tell you that.
Pick up a "Who's Who in Baseball" and have a look at the minor league stats of today's MLB players.
Of course there are exceptions, but the vast majority of today's MLers had impressive stats in the minors, and for the most part, the better the ML player today, the better his minor league stats were.
