Let me take Baltimore Orioles as an example.

MLB team, Triple-A and Double-A works OK with 25 players each, but then it gets irritating.
The Delmarva single-A team has about 25 players (since A and lower has no limits) BUT Fredericks Keys (the other Single-A) has NO players.
Then Lord and beholds the Aberdeen Ironbirds in Short-A has plus 20 players and Bluefield Rookie ballteam has around the same.
These two teams doesnīt start playing until mid-June, so they have players sitting around and not playing even when Fredericks only have Joe Unknowns playing.

Looking deeper I find Guillermo Quiroz the 2008 catcher for the Oīs in 56 games 2008, playing in Aberdeen ( well he hasnīt started yet, since that league doesnīt start until mid-june). He is 26 years of age and places in Short-A. Some other plus 25 players are also sitting around in the Rookie league waiting for playing time.

What is wrong in this picture then. Perhaps the ratings ? I have permitted the AI to make roster changes, since I believe without that the game canīt move forward.

Naturally all players in Baltimore organization should be in Single-A teams and up, before new younger drafted players pop up to move into Short-A and Rookie leagues.

Have anybody something to say about this. Some teams do this, so Baltimore is not alone, but itīs ALWAYS the Single-A that is "emtied" and players moved down to Short-A and Rookie-league.

I could accept younger players being placed in those low levels even before schedule games, but not 25 plus years plaeyers like Quiroz.
Iīm sure I could find many more so itīs a bigger problem IMHO...

Ideas and solutions fellow gamers ?????

Even seen Kazuo Fukumori in AZL Rangers Rookie League. He is 30 plus and played some games in Texas Rangers but mostly in Oklahoma RedHawks this year. Wherever he played I canīt see him ever accept coming over to the states and play in Rookie League, even if he is technical a rookie.

I must ask if I am the only one that this happens too.
I have tried both with No Limits rosters for Minors and also Limits for AAA,AA and A of 25. Same things happens.
Someone got to have this come out differently.

Come on guys let me now if it looks the same on starting this roster for all you out there. I canīt find any way around this and itīs a bigger issue than Rule5 Draft omitted IMHO. Several Single-A clubs are playing with almost 100% rosters of Joe Unknowns.
One canīt fill up Rookie leagues with players since those leagues should be empty until after draft date.


HEEEELP

PS
For those who might try and look into this a valuable info is that when you check Minor League Report for a specific team you might see the reason.
I looked in and saw the report saying on several guys in the Single-A clubs that they probably overmatched for Single-A action.
This leads to the conclusion that in the creation of these Single-A players they have just got too weak potentials and present skills.
Hope you look over this CubbyFan if lower class players actually are TOO low in quality.
