Is your idea that this is a new configuration for 1957, but that baseball history through 1956 has matched the real world?
If so, my own approach would be to leave MOST of the minor league structure alone, at least at first. That is, most minor leagues will remain affiliated with the old major leagues (or independent). This would be partly out of uncertainty for the new leagues' chances of success, partly for reasons of in-force contracts. I might give the new majors just a couple affiliated minor leagues, from among those that are in the same western and southern territories.
