The best advice I can give is to organize your system from the bottom up. Move every player from the lowest league up a level that is ready. If you still have more than 25-30 players, cut the fat. Then go up a level and do the same all the way to the top.
Honestly, I wouldn't pay much attention to having a certain number of prospects at a position. Just make sure you don't have any weaknesses at any position at any level. For example, if you have a crap CF at AA, look to A to fill the weakness or if he's not ready, then you know what you should acquire in a trade/draft.
Treat each minor league team with the care and consideration that you would you major league team. In my opinion, that is how you achieve complete immersion. Knowing your system inside and out and focusing on every level equally.

I agree with this. But you dont have to focus so intently on minors if you dont wantto. Just make sure you are moving players up a level every year (high rated prospects promote quicker if they are performing), and keep cutting/trading the excess players and use the trades to fill gaps.
Players you cannot trade do not be afraid to cut them.
