In real life that's true plenty of the really good prospects make the jump from AA to MLB with a cursory stay in AAA (Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman for example. Bregman spent a whopping 18 games in AAA before being called up and I never got to see him in Fresno). And many teams only use their AAA for fringe players or holding pens for their reserve players. However I dont' think OOTP is modeled this way and in OOTP the players next progression for growth is AAA competition. Besides it's just easier for me to have all my "ready to go" talent in AAA then have them spread out over two levels. When you see good talent in OOTP struggle in AAA from AA give them some more time. They'll straighten up if they are good enough. Maybe it's not realistic but that's what I've noticed.

Finally remember they don't have to be fully maxed on their potential before being called up to the majors. if they are close enough being called up the majors develops them much faster if they are a good player even just sitting on the bench. Bench time in the majors is just as good as playing time in the minors in OOTP.
