I just find it annoying when a pitcher is on a team a complete season getting games as a reliever when in reality he only came to start a game or two before vanishing from the history book.

I hear you. The flip side to this is that a player may have only gotten into a handful of Sept-callup games in real life. But in OOTP maybe due to injuries he was needed more...
In fact, that's one reason - and I'm getting a little off track here because I'm talking about post-1900 - I like to play with minors. IRL a team might've been locked in a tight pennant race and didn't even call up its top shortstop prospect (or veteran who is really only there for insurance). But in OOTP
without minors, if your veteran SS gets injured your only options are going to be other guys who appeared on the big club that year - and depending upon circumstances, those options could be pretty thin - when in reality the major league team would've called up the guy from AAA...
