Firstly, a guy with a potential cap of 1 star can still end up a viable big-leaguer. That 1-star rating covers a HUGE variance in actual ability, from the guys who can't make it out of rookie ball to fringe starters in the bigs. You have to look at the component ratings to see which 1-stars might be able to develop a little.

Second, those 1-star players can have potential gains that make them useful 1-stars (or even higher), so it's worth keeping them around at least a season or two. Most of your minors is going to be made up of 1-star organizational filler anyway.

Third, you could switch to using ghost players so you don't have to keep all the teams fully stocked. I don't like playing that way, but it might work for you.
