I have this:

AAA: 25 man roster, no service limits
AA: 25 man roster, no service limits
A+: 25 man roster, 5 year service limit
A: 25 man roster, 4 year service limit
A-: 35 man roster, 3 year service limit
R (GCL, AZL) 35 man roster, 2 year service limit
R (DSL) 35 man roster, 3 year service limit

This reflects reality as best as possible given the limited roster rules which can be used within OOTP. In reality, A+ & A have 35 man rosters with only 25 active at any given time, but this cannot be reflected in OOTP.

I am also using CURRENT ratings to setup minor league depth charts. While I can appreciate why people might prefer POTENTIAL, too often you have players who are undesrving of certain roles (ie..hitting in the number 4 spot when they shouldn't, or a pitcher being a closer when he shouldn't be) but they will still play more than likely, and will be in better roles. If a player isn't playing at a given level, he is likely overmatched anyway. I assume people think using POTENTIAL ratings give the AI a boost, but I'm not really so sure, as players are promoted/demoted based on CURRENT ratings and performance, not POTENTIAL.
