The most important requirements, for an operator to be viewed as a proposition, is that it must be hermitian and idempotent (which, in the Hilbert case corresponds to projectors). We interpret the above restrictions as follows. Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues. In particular, idempotent operators have eigenvalues 0 or 1, that is, they allow for asserting or negating in the classical way. When the operator is not hermitian, it is true that there is no way to interpret it directly as a logical proposition, because its eigenvalues are not real numbers, and the proposition cannot be asserted as usual.
