It may take a couple of years, but once you get the bullpen system working, you can have a stream of 4 1/2 star talent in your minor leagues for your position players.
I always try to tank the first season of the game because you will get a good pick in the first TWO drafts if you do this. The first years draft is based on your teams standing for the first year at the point of the draft. Following years are based off of the previous years standings. So, with this in mind, you can get a ton of good prospects in the first two years drafts by doing poorly your first season. After that, stick with your prospects and let them develop. You will be winning multiple world series in years 4-8 of the game.

Ah, from that perspective, I see what you mean. That is a different style of play than I use.
