Doc, I actually don't agree that a AAA all-star team would be competitive in any league.
You mentioned the adjustment process and thats particularly it. For every guy that would put up an above-RL season, another would completely implode. This is because of the sizable gap of quality in between AAA and major league.
NONE of the NPB star position players had adjustments season either than Hideki Matsui in his rookie season.
Ichiro, Johjima, Iguchi, and Iwamura. These guys IMMEDIATELY translated to AL ball. Most of them started hitting their physical declines in a couple years, but these guys were IMMEDIATELY well above-average starters in the American League.
The same has been true of succesful SPs like Nomo, Kuroda, Uehara, and Lewis. The truth is, I think the SP would translate tremendously from NPB to AL. The successes of the most recent star NPB pitcher in Kuroda and Lewis confirm this for me. Both have been full-time 4+ WAR type mini-stars. I also think that there more than a hundred guys who either be succesful MOR/BOR starters or above-average relievers.
All that said we still haven't had enough guys crossing over although we plently of examples of AAA stars washing out in the NPB.
