My MLB club was getting hammered, so I ran off 2/3 of a season on autopilot and neglected to check on the minors.
For whatever reason, the system moved all but 7 pitchers to AA. The few remaining AAA pitchers all burned up from overuse and four of my top pitching prospects were hit w/ 4-12 month arm injuries, along with most of that staff (three torn biceps alone). Pitching on 0 to 2 days rest every start will do that to a starter.
The hitters on the AA team were similarly overworked, but not as injury-prone. I have not had any such problems w/ full minor leagues and would say it worked pretty well in that scenario.

I'm curious: do you have "create and maintain hidden players" selected?
