Every team had mostly 0-2's for ratings in that area for their minor league pitchers. In every case the teams had their best or most highly rated pitchers at the major league level. Mind you I only checked the computer teams but everyone was like that.
I don't recall seeing anything in any of the leagues that I have played that would "throw up a red flag" as far as how teams handle their pitchers. Sounds like a small incident and their is probably more to it that we can see here.

Good, I'm glad it is no more than a very rare or isolated incident. It came as a big surprise to me. I'll keep an eye open for any more occurences. I suspect that somehow Oropesa and Williamson became "invisible" in the minor leagues as pitchers sometimes seem to do (you know, those occasions in which minor league pitchers simply don't get used).
