These can all be seen very clearly from the stats without much digging. Pitchers who give up a lot of HRs in the minors generally continue the practice in the majors I also think you can learn some about the rating accuracy for a player. If he seems like he should be performing better/worse at his given level than his ratings show, it can give you some clue as to which direction his ratings are inaccurate.

That's not inherently bad: tall outfield walls and good fielding OF might offset that disadvantage. BB/K ratio can be anywhere: 3/5 for low control+ low velocity, 1/4 for 20- control Pitchers. Both can be successful (or failures).

Some hitters and pitchers hugely over- or under-perform. If you can figure out how to read the signal from deep inside the noise, you'll do well. You also might discover aliens from another dimension.
