Sure, you'd be better served by being in Rookie Ball and we have no one playing 3rd base on the rookie team, but we need a backup 3B in AAA instead of ghost player, so you get to go to AAA to die." That stinks.
Could you explain this one a bit better? If you have ghost players on, the AI does not fill out minor league rosters (at least not visibly), by definition. It's not called upon nor supposed to do so. Moreover, I have not seen the game move up a guy from rookie level just to fill a position in AAA with ghost players on; else you would have all the non-ghost minor leaguers at AAA. I will look again tonight, but I don't think this is the case.
