I had never noticed the accumulation until now - I assumed when you have the AI set up your minor leagues it would also cut the worst players to make room.
And, it was all concentrated on one team (one of my two rookie-league teams). It was quite impressive. About 30 starting pitchers and for some reason an enormous collection of catchers - about 30 of them also.

Rule of thumb on drafts is 5 rounds per level of minors.
30 rounds would indicate 6 levels of minors under this method.
The AI will cut players in the minors if roster limits are in place and you exceed them.
I like the idea of doing my own signing and cutting, but using the AI to set up the minors regularly. You can easily tell which players to cut -- they are the players getting no playing time.
