A few thoughts.

(1) As a minor league manager, part of your job is to meet the goals of the organization. If I were a GM, I certainly wouldn't want a minor league manager who managed his team as if he owned it.

(2) Stats are nice, but you must always consider their context. If, let's say, Bryce Harper bats .150 this April, would the Nationals then bench him in favor of another kid who's batting .300? Of course not! The sample size is small; greater weight should be put on his glowing scouting reports.

(3) If you like, you can turn the ratings off and just view the stats. It's probably best to have college/high school feeder leagues so you can have a statistical background on each player.
