How often do minor league A players make it to the major leagues?

Aproximately 1500 players are drafted each year into the minor leagues. With the average career length of a MLB player being about 5.6 years, it should take about 5.6 years worth of drafts to fill every team. Since MLB careers can last from a single day to over 20 years, you can see that the one day is much much more common. The amount of players that play for a team even a single day each year varies wildly. But I think going by the 40 man roster size is a good average esitmate and ends up at about a 14.3% chance of a player from single-A making a MLB roster at some point. To make a regular 25 man spot on a roster is a bit less at about 8.9%.
