Because I'm lazy, I'm just going to copy-paste a post about this from a thread about OOTP2K6 in my online league's forum:

So it's 5x the work with none of the reward you might get now from managing your minor league system.

Ghost/greyed-out players in the minors would go a long way towards cutting down on the amount of time a player has to spend managing (I'd even say juggling) his minor league rosters, lineups, and depth charts. Greyed-out players a la the CM/FM series would definitely be welcome.
