I do not use it, I have 1 online league and 1 solo league with reserve rosters so promotions and demotions are not a major hassle.

I love ghost players, I do not want to role play Incomplete Minor League Roster Manager or Minor League DL Manager.
For me, I like the convenience they provide.

Real Life
Sort of, a player on the 40 man but in the minors receives a percentage of the ML minimum salary in real life. When a player is placed on the 25 man roster they receive a ML contract.
OOTP
OOTP does not exactly replicate this. If they are demoted to the minors in the same season they are payed, I am 90% on this, their ML wage. If they are on the 40 man and are not promoted to the 25 man active roster they are not payed, basically.
The third post in this thread (from OOTP12 but I think it is still applicable) explains a lot of what I do with my minors.
