Is this that far off; Looking at one teams AAA roster:

I count 5 players over 30 (not counting 3 over 30 on the AAA DL)
I count 6 more players 28 or 29 (not counting 1 on the AAA DL)
I count only 2 players younger than 24.
I count 12 players with Major League experience (not counting 4 on the AAA DL)

So that's over 11 players on the roster who are older than prospect level.

So in OOTP terms that means there would actually be 16 players out of 29 total that would have Major League Contracts. (55%)

AAA has become more of a Major League taxi squad now-a-days rather than a place to develop prospects.

A quick glance at the rosters for some other teams indicates that my findings are pretty typical, so this seems to be the rule now, rather than the exception.
