Having 100 (Yes, 100!!) players on a rookie league team is just silly, no matter what you desire from a setup....
I've yet to see this happen since patch 2. I imagine if you are using 50 round drafts, it may happen still, I guess.

In real life, minor league teams don't even carry 25.
Uh, what? AAA and AA have 23/24 man roster limits, but High- and Low-A have 25-man rosters, and Short Season and Rookie leagues have 35-man rosters (with 30 active per game, I believe.)

I have no idea where you're getting 10-man pitching staffs at, either. Even Indy leagues usually have 11 and 12 man staffs at 22-25 man roster sizes.

In addition, most teams have a number of players signed to contracts either injured and not on a minor league disabled list, or otherwise unassigned to a team.

Those of us who are striving for realism should not be the ones who have to worry about abstracting reality for game reasons unless absolutely required. Those of you who are setting up abstract realities to begin with can easily handle a little more abstraction.... You want more players in the minors just add another minor league team!
I didn't realize Japan was part of an abstract reality...
