Yeah, that's not a bug, it's just how MLB rules work. What seems to be the issue from what I can see here is so many of these guys getting MLB contracts even when their ratings don't merit it.
I suppose you could argue that many recent draft picks getting released as well is not ideal, though in real life you do get a lot of guys released within a year or two of being drafted.
