I guess it's another argument for controlling the minors yourself
If and when minor league DL's are implemented, I'll never use incomplete rosters again. The only reason I ever even consider them is to cover for all the injuries that the AI won't take into account for in running the minors. Incomplete rosters made sense back in the old days when OOTP only had prospects that could / should make the majors but now that it uses fully staffed minors the incomplete option is kind of a cheat.

I suppose in a perfectly realistic world the AI would just sign or hold on to "organizational" players to fill the gaps while the younger players developed but it doesn't.
