I was only aware of having a guy in the majors too early would cause problems. If having a guy in AAA too early causes problems too, then there is an issue here. If not, and I can't assume it is true or not without citation, the issue is purly cosmetic and not worthy of all this.

But I would raise the question here:

If playing with ghost players, why is it neccessary to have the AI manage the minors at all? Would it not be just as easy to leave promotions/demotions in the hands of the human player, who then from time to time resorts the rosters according to the arrows and reports? since that seems to be the primary tool used here to judge a player's proper place in the system.
