How is this treated in MiLB, though? For example, what if there is a 24 year old player who is essentially a non-prospect in A ball and then mashes the low level league he is in at his advanced age ... would this player play over a 19-year old first round draft pick - who plays the same position - but doesn't play well right away? Would the younger, top draft pick then be relegated to the bench on an AI team and then not develop properly? ... (obviously I can set up my own team....but I'm worried about the AI team's integrity being kept)...
