Even in my massive universe where I have Mexico, India, St. Lucia, Canada, several indy leagues, Europe, Australia, Taiwan and others activated, there are still too many of these dudes clogging my AAA teams. It's been a persistent problem, and short of turning on age limits, there's no good way to stop AAA from having too many of them. I'm glad someone is talking about it, I am usually forced to just mass retire hundreds or thousands of these guys every few years to get them out of circulation.

Presently I'm concerned with cutting way back on the career minor league pitchers in MLB. I wonder how many there are waiting in AAA who are better than the real MLB players who will just jump onto MLB rosters. I guess I'll know after I do the retirements.

It's peculiar that the pitcher percentage is so high compared with position players.
