SUGGESTION
I think the AI should be smart enough to wait until spring training to call up minor leaguers to the big leagues (also to do other minor league promotions/demotions).

REASON
When I manage my team, during the offseason my 25 man roster drops to like 20 due to FA's leaving and demotions of marginal players. That way I dont have to turn around and promote and re-demote players unnecessarily as I trade and sign free agents. The need of the AI to constantly fill its 25 man during the offseason causes unneeded use of waivers and sometimes the release of quality players.

PRIORITY
Medium. It has a number of downstream effects including overuse of waivers and options and subsequent loss of talent which makes the AI significantly disadvantaged, and can make for easy pickings for humans.
