What's really needed for better recreation of the minor leagues isn't age limits but service limits.

Most of the roster restrictions in the minors, and especially in the independent leagues, revolve around service time limitations. These generally mean the club must carry a minimum number of first-year players and/or a maximum number of veteran players.

In the Advanced A leagues, for example, the restriction is that clubs cannot carry more than two players and one player-coach who have six or more years of prior minor league experience. The independent Northern League specifies that clubs must carry a minimum of five first-year players and a maximum of four veterans (defined as those with five or more years of prior professional experience).

So getting user-definable service time limits for individual minor leagues which allow the player to specify how many first-year players must be carried on the active list, and how many veterans players can be carried, and lastly how many years prior experience classifies a player as a veteran, would be the items to campaign for...
