I was just coming to post this. One of the easiest ways to fix the issue of too many good prospects getting waived/released/Rule 5'd is to take away minor league roster limits. I personally play with no roster limits at all in the minor leagues, and the AI will still stick to 25-man rosters if it can. But it won't wind up dropping a great IF prospect just because AA and AAA both have shortstops already.
