To be honest, playing this way can be frustrating. As a minor league manager, you have no control over your roster and must make do with the players given to you by the AI. That, and roster changes are rather frequent, although this version and its patches are supposed to be slowing that down some.
The upshot is that often you don't have quality players and the ones that you do have are taken away. This is to be expected as the AI GM should be managing the organization with an eye to what is best for the parent club. Which would be fine if the game rewarded good management regardless of win/loss record in the minor leagues.
The problem is, the game expects you to win at all levels and if you do not it penalizes your reputation. As your reputation suffers, the likelihood of your being fired increases to the point of frustration as you cannot even make it through one season at times.
I found myself in this situation and I finally went into commissioner mode and took the GM job that I wanted. Being able to control the organization, making all the transactions while managing the parent club, is the most interesting mode of play for me.
