Do I really need to post a list of prospects who hit in the minors but not in the majors to prove my point?

Leaguewide is Senzel even considered a top 20 prospect?

All indications are that Senzel will hit in the majors.

If you want to post a list of prospects who hit in the minors but not in the majors, you can. 

I could also post a list of prospects who were traded for short term gains that became super stars with their new team.

I could also post an explicit example of a trade rumor that fell through back in 2008 that would have sent Joey Votto and either Johnny Cueto or Homer Bailey to Oakland for Joe Blanton, a trade that Paul Daugherty, at the time, heavily advocated for the following reason:

"Blanton is a proven winner, a guy who threw 230 innings last year, gave up only 16 homers in the AL and walked only 40 hitters. Cueto is. . . is. . . we don’t know. Same for Votto and Bailey."

As for Senzel's rating, on MLB.com, in 2018, Senzel was ranked the 6th best prospect in Baseball.

The 2019 rankings are coming out on the 26th, so we'll see if he's climbed that list any further.
