Suggestion
I realize this is probably very hard to code, but: make the minor league A.I. aware of when there is no backup at a position (so it can fix this), and make it aware of when a player is out for a long period of time (so it can adjust the depth charts and maybe call up a replacement).
Reason
What I most frequently see is a minor league team with two catchers: one is a full-time catcher, the other is a full-time DH. The catcher spends most of the year totally exhausted, and if he gets injured, the team spends the year playing an outfielder at catcher. Less often, I see a team with no backup shortstop; and often, I see a team with four injuries and nothing done to accommodate the fact. I don't let this happen in my team's minor league system, but then I wind up with an unfair advantage.
Note, by the way, that I specifically set up the minor leagues with 27-man rosters to help avoid these problems. Very rarely do the computer teams use more than 25 players. I've tried, rather burdensomely, signing third catchers or backup shortstops or replacement pitchers to those minor league teams; almost always, someone will be demoted/released and the problem will continue.
Priority
If it is in fact fixable? High.
