The issue isn't having too many two-way players in the draft since that's realistic for high school/college players, the issue is all of them except for rare occasions should only be doing one once they start in the minors. That's the part OOTP seems to be missing, human and AI should be able to choose which one to focus on (without resorting to the editor).
This should be configurable of course. I actually prefer a few more two-way players than is "realistic" since I play fictional, but if you're trying to simulate modern MLB, it doesn't make sense to have so many two way players in the minors.
